Tina Dickow - Room With A View Lyrics

I need a room with a view
An armchair by the window
A cup of coffee and a cigarette or two
Watch the sky turn from hazy gray to black
Watch my neighbours go to work
And look exhausted and burned out
When they get back

Thinking about you
Thank God for this beautiful view

I recall you took me swimming
The sea was dark and cold
You'd been there many times before
With many different girls, I'd been told
But what's a man without a past
We love him for his lies
And then we try to break him
Down to make it last

'til they come true
Thank God for this beautiful view

Beautiful view you, you, you
You i still love you

The dark is falling and the
City fills with lights
Cars like shining pearls on strings
Moving through the emptiness of night
The wine is running to my head
I'm spellbound by the moment can't get up
Can't find the strength to go to bed

Without you
Thank God for this beautiful view

Beautiful view you, you, you
You i still love you

I still love you still love you

I've been blind - too blind
To tell false from true
I've been so busy running
Never stopped to think where I was running to
But I've learned my lesson from
The tears I've had
To cry Sometimes it helps to take your time
To sit alone and watch the world go by

'cause every day it's new
Thank God for this beautiful view
Oh, every day it's new
Thank God for this beautiful view
Thank God for this beautiful view
