Lyrics

[01:03.00] Sittin' down by my window,
[01:08.00] Honey, lookin' out at the rain.
[01:17.00] Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
[01:25.00] Baby, lookin' out at the rain.
[01:37.00] Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
[01:43.00] And it felt just like a ball and chain.
[01:47.00] Honey, that's exactly what it felt like,
[01:50.00] Honey, just dragging me down.
