Outside of my window
Observing the external environment from a window.
The rain's fallin' down
Describing the falling rain outside.
It's fallin' so close its chill is near yet far
Noting the proximity of the rain and its chilling effect.
Away
Expressing a sense of distance or emotional detachment.
And the splash of the busy wheels
Referring to the sound of busy wheels and mourning thunder.
The thunder of the mourning
Highlighting the fading of these sounds into silence in a dream.
Fade to silence in a distant dream that carried me
Describing the dream as carrying the speaker away.
Away
Reiterating the idea of being carried away in the dream.
Outside
Referencing activities happening outside.
The little yellow raincoats running in the rain

Beckon, how they beckon with their sweet refrain
Indicating an invitation or attraction with a sweet refrain.
Their gentle laughter
Noting the gentle laughter of the children.
Outside
Repeating the idea of what's happening outside.
Those fools that don't know 'nough to come in out of the rain
