Face In The Window Lyrics

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
