Dit is de laatste in de reeks Blindelingse Grepen in de RG-Collectie, nr. 87 (eigenlijk 85a), en tweede nummer van het Tribute to Burt Bacharach. Een ingehouden anti-oorlogslied, oorspronkelijk van Dionne Warwick, hier gezongen door de folkzanger Jimmie Rodgers (die geboren is in het jaar waarin de gelijknamige jodelende countrypionier stierf, 1934).
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 sun shine 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 sun shine through
The windows of the world are covered with rain
What is the whole world coming to?
Everybody knows when men can not be friends
Their quarrel often ends when some have to die
Let the sun shine through
The windows of the world are covered with rain
There must be something we can do
Ev’rybody knows whenever rain appears
It’s really angel’s tears
How long must they cry?
Let the sun shine through
The windows of the world, 1969
