A pair of mandolins. If anyone can explain what either a mandolin wind or a mandolin rain are, I would be very appreciative.

I’ve always wondered about this song. How, exactly, does the rain, and indeed the window-pane itself, remind her of her man?
My theory is that it was a successful avoidance-tactic by someone at Gamblers Anonymous.

A guilty pleasure? I’ve always bloody loved this song.
