Looking out my window, looking at the rain
Nothing left but sorrow, nothing left but pain
Why did you go and leave me, set me alone and blue
Looking out my window, woman, trying to find you

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

Looking out my window, what do I see?
Nobody's crying, everything's bad as me
I don't think that they feel, so alone and blue
Looking out my window baby, trying to find you

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

I'd like to tell you about the little girl that left me so alone and blue
The trouble is, if I paint the picture too well, you might fall in love with her too
She was about 5' 6 and a little bag of tricks
My mama told me to watch myself, but I didn't listen
'Cause for you I'd stretch out my arms, oh baby

Looking out my window, not a railroad track
Waiting for that little brown eyed girl, she's coming back
I gotta hear the wind still blowing, down the line
Come on back girl, to be mine all mine

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

Oh, baby come on home
I'm so alone
I don't care what the world might say
I'm gonna love you anyway

I've done all I need, I'm begging you please, oh
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
