Don't Stand so Close to the Window Songtext

von Paul Kelly

Oh Marlene, how we fell
What we've done now we can never tell
Bottle of wine, then another
Suddenly we fell into each other

Don't stand so close to the window
Somebody out there might see

Then the word on the wire
Would be just like Ash Wednesday bush fire
Kiss me quick, kiss me warm
Put your dress on and hurry back home

Don't stand so close to the window
Somebody out there might see
And you're not supposed to be here with me

There's a way, there's a track
One false move and there's no turning back
Turn the page, close the book
Walk out the door now with never a look

And don't stand so close to the window
Somebody out there might see
And you're not supposed to be here with me
The walls have ears and the darkness eyes don't you see?
