Song Lyrics

VERSE


My baby came to me today

And told me to pack all of my things up

So happy he was with a laughter in his eyes

He said we're going to Jamaica

I said ""you may be nice, young but you're not the leader

Bet you didn't know you're on the wrong destination""

But he didn't care so I wished him welfare in Jamaica


CHORUS


He went away and I'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun

Well he went away and I'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun


VERSE


I've got no forest in which I can run and run

I've got no freedom, I've got things to do

Mama used to think I was the crazy in the family

But I can't even go to Jamaica

I wanna swim in the sea

That we see when they show commercials on TV

I wanna help the fishermen catch the fish

I wanna help the fish get away from the fishermen


CHORUS


He went away and I'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun

Well he went away and I'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun


BRIDGE


I wanna sit under a palm tree

I wanna think of my own country

I wanna listen to an old and wise man

Talking about equality and peace and one love

I want him to tell me

I want him to tell me

I want him to look me in the eye and tell me that

Everything's gonna be just fine

Everything's gonna be just fine

Everything, everything, eveything's gonna be just fine

Everything's gonna be OK

Everything's gonna be OK

Everything oh, everything oh

Everything's gonna be OK

But i'm stuck in the traffic and i'm getting frantic

Nothing is static, I need a new tactic

I'm stuck in the traffic, and though i'm always frantic

This time I looked around and said oh, f... it!


CHORUS


He went away and I'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun

Well he went away and I'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun

He went away and I'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun

Well he went away and I'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun

My baby went away

And i'm here by the window

Trying to catch a glimpse of sun

Glimpse of sun
