lyrics

Come closer to the window
So I can see you
Come closer to the window
So I can see you
Come closer to the window, the window
So I can see you

You're sharper than a Barlow
And how you cut me
You're sharper than a Barlow
And how you cut me
You're sharper than a Barlow and hot as Monte Carlo
Come closer to the window

Will you keep me waiting here alone out in the cold all night?
If you keep me waiting as a favor don't you turn out the light

You're hanging up your halo
To walk with a devil
You're hanging up your halo
To walk with a devil
You're hanging up your halo, but I ain't gonna lay low
Come closer to the window

Your lovin' is a swindle
If he gets to touch you
Your lovin' is a swindle
If he can touch you
Your lovin' is a swindle, but mine ain't gonna dwindle
Come closer to the window

Will you keep me waiting here alone out in the cold all night?
If you keep me waiting as a favor don't you turn out the light

Could you sleep with the light on?
Could you sleep with the light on?
Could you sleep with the light on?
Could you sleep with the light-
Could you sleep closer to the window?
Closer to the window?
Closer to the window?
Closer to the window?

Come closer to the window
So I can see you
Come closer to the window
So I can see you
Come closer to the window, the window
So I can see you
So I can see you, baby
So I can see you
So I can see you, baby

Could you sleep with the light on?

David Alan Thornton New York, New York

Alaska-raised, NYC-based, singer-songwriter David Alan Thornton has has been called "too open-minded for the Midwest and too open-hearted for New York." As a performer, his "soulful vocal stylings compliment confessional lyrics that border on literary greatness." With a sound in the middle of David Bowie and Cat Stevens, you might call him an alternative-folk-rock singer, but who really knows? ... more
