Lyrics Paul Kelly – Don’t Stand So Close To The Window

Oh Marlene, how we fell
What we’ve done now we never can 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 bushfire
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 has eyes don’t you see?
