This used to be my favorite song while growing up. I always was intrigued by the third 'verse' which is that three line interlude. It starts with the rhyme 'rain' in te first line and ends with the rhyme 'sleet' in the third. They're joint together in the middle line as 'Main Street' which reflects both side (rain and sleet) which is nice since Main Street also symbolizes a median. It's the very subject of crossing a median and looking to the other side which symbolizes what this song is all about. Turning the corner from adolescence and youth to middle age- with concepts of filial love and stability.
If you think about youth and how you always look to the other side with transparency, you may see the approach of death (middle-age) as a sign on the window.
