Looking Out My Window by Peter Straker Lyrics

Looking out my window
See the people passing by

See them stop and linger
It makes me want to cry

I just can't say
How much I feel
Or... ever hurt a try?..
But there's many alone and lonely here
Before those tears run dry

But I nearly made it this time
Couldn't find the rhyme
Nearly reached you this time
Couldn't make the climb

And so I ask you please
To read between the lines
Until I find it clear away
To say what's on my mind
Looking out my window
See the leaves are turning red

It's not thе season
It's the peoplе's blood that's being shed

I try to find an answer
In the books that I have read
But it seems there's something missing
My word's been left unsaid

But I nearly said it this time
Couldn't find the rhyme
Nearly saw you this time
But my eyes were blind

And so I'll ask you please
To read between the lines
Until I find it clear away
To say what's on my mind

Looking out my window
See the people passing by

See the people stop and linger
Here the lonely shadows grow
What I thought was patience
Was the wisdom of the fool
It seems it needs a bit of sadness
To see the writting on the wall

But I nearly made it this time
Couldn't find the rhyme
Nearly found you this time
Didn't take the time

And so I'll ask you please
To read between the lines!!!

Until I find it clear away!!!
To say what's on my miiiiiiiiind!!!
