Face in the Window Songtext
von Dave Loggins

I saw the shade come down upon the face
In the window of the train
Stood there alone, afraid to go home
′Cause I knew she wouldn't be there to meet me again
I watched the train ′til it pulled out of sight

Off into the night, I heard a whistle blow
And I turned to see if she was comin' back
But oh no, she's gone
And I′m out on the edge and I ain′t no acrobat

Walkin' on a tightrope
I see her face in the window and it′s blowin' me away
I′m walkin' on a tightrope
Every step I take, I just know it′s gonna break
I gotta get away
But that face in the window just will not let me go


The hours passed and the night came crashin'
Down into the dawn
I checked the schedule and the return trip
Was soon due in and I was sure she would be on it
I heard a train way off into the distance

And I walked outside to listen and I heard a whistle blow
Waited to see, but she did not come back
Oh no, she's gone
And I′m out on the edge and I ain′t no acrobat

Walkin' on a tightrope
I see her face in the window and it′s blowin' me away
I′m walkin' on a tightrope
Every step I take, I just know it′s gonna break

But that face in the window just will not let me go, no
Ooh


I'm just walkin' on a tightrope
I see her face in the window and it′s blowin′ me away
Walkin' on a tightrope
Every step I take, I know it′s gonna break
Walkin' on a tightrope
It won′t let me go, that face in the window
Walkin' on a tightrope
She got me out on the edge and I know it′s gonna break
Walkin' on a tightrope
I've just got to let go of that face in the window
Walkin′ on a tightrope
She′s gone, she's gone, she′s left me and gone
Walkin' on a tightrope
