As far as I understand the sense of the lyrics( I must admit that I'm not a native speaker myself, though this song is my ultimate favourite of the band's stuff, and I contemplated its lyrics many times), I can imagine a man in his 40-es, who's walking down the street alone and without any different purpose. Suddenly a face in the window ( maybe a face from his past, maybe not, just kinda trigger) awakens in his mind the dearest memories of his youth that seemed to have been buried down long ago. The dying embers of long lost pasion seem to begin to burn again. The storm of emotions on his face and tears that all of the sudden fill his eyes may even scare passers-by. Just listen, how Midge's singing illustrates this flood of feelings, getting more and more emotional from the 1-st verse to 2-nd and finding its culmination at the end of the third verse. And the repeated 1-st verse at the end of the song which is sung less emotionally than the third one, expresses the end of the soul storm, ashes still aglow but fire has faded.
@Дмитр I agree with your visions in blue, have you seen the original video of this song? It couldn`t reflect better the romanticism and atmosphere created in this song; it reflects moments of introspection and the beauty created about it; it reminds of the past things and the people you will never see again, but he is happy to be alive and have the pure feeling of nostalgia and the possibility just to watch a simple thing but precious, like a window in the night.
