Lyrics Windows of the World - Scott Walker

The windows of the world
Are covered with rain
Where is the sunshine we once knew?

Everybody knows
When little children play
They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall
Let the sunshine through

The windows of the world
Are covered with rain
When will those black skies turn to blue?

Everybody knows
When boys grow into men
They start to wonder when their country will call
Let the sunshine through

The windows of the world
Are covered with rain
What is the whole world coming to?

Everybody knows
When men cannot be friends
Their quarter loves an ends
Where some have to die
Let the sunshine through

The windows of the world
Are covered with rain
There must be something we can do

Everybody knows
Whenever rain appears
It's really angel's tears
How long must they cry?
Let the sunshine through
