Storm Windows Lyrics by John Prine

Storm Windows Lyrics

    I can hear the wheels of the automobiles
    So far away - just moving along through the drifting snow
    It's times like these when the temperatures freeze
    I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window
    And down on the beach - the sandman sleeps
    Time don't fly - it bounds and leaps
    And a country band that plays for keeps
    They play it so slow

    Chorus:
    Don't let your baby down
    Don't let your baby down
    Don't let your baby down

    Well, the spirits were high 'til the well went dry
    For so long the raven at my window was only a crow
    I bought the rights to the inside fights
    And watched a man just beating his hand against a storm window
    While miles away o'er hills and streams
    A candle burns - a witch's dreams
    And silence is golden till it screams
    Right through your bones

    Repeat chorus:

    Storm windows - gee but i'm getting old
    Storm window - keep away the cold
    Don't let your baby down
    Don't let your baby down
    Don't let your baby down
