Look Through My Window Lyrics
And the rain beats on my roof
And it does not ask for proof
It's not that lovers are unkind
She always said there'd come a time
When one would leave and one stay behind
We both knew people sometimes change
And lovers sometimes rearrange
And nothing's quite as sure as change
And the rain beats on my roof
Look through my window
To the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go
And I know I should let go
She always said, "I'm not like you
When love is dead, for me it's through
And I will find and love someone new"
(And I will find somebody new)
Look through my window, yeah
To the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go
And I know I should let go
I must admit she knew her mind
And it will not take her long to find
Another place where the sun will shine
(Another place where the sun will shine)
(Where the sun will shine, sun will shine . . .)
And the rain beats on my roof
If I still require proof
Well, the rain beats on my roof
(She's gone)
If I still require proof
(She's gone)
Well, the rain beats on my roof
(Look through my window)
If I still require proof
And it does not ask for proof
She always said there'd come a time
When one would leave and one stay behind
And lovers sometimes rearrange
And nothing's quite as sure as change
And the rain beats on my roof
To the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go
And I know I should let go
When love is dead, for me it's through
And I will find and love someone new"
(And I will find somebody new)
To the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go
And I know I should let go
And it will not take her long to find
Another place where the sun will shine
(Another place where the sun will shine)
(Where the sun will shine, sun will shine . . .)
If I still require proof
Well, the rain beats on my roof
(She's gone)
If I still require proof
(She's gone)
Well, the rain beats on my roof
(Look through my window)
If I still require proof

Funny that only now 40 years later do I listen to this song and am awed by the lyrics and the musical complexity- all done on a mere 8 tracks. Guess in my youth I was put off by the strings. John Edmund Andrew Phillips you were a screwed up human being but man, a master of songwriting.
This is one their most beautiful songs. I think the lyrics are pretty self-explanatory.
I somehow overlooked this song until fairly recently. Now it’s one of my favourites of theirs. Written when Michelle left John and it’s sad and sweet.
