• Box Of Rain

    Look out of any window
    Any morning, any evening, any day
    Maybe the sun is shining
    Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky
    What do you want me to do
    To do for you to see you through?
    For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago

    Walk out of any doorway
    Feel your way like the day before
    Maybe you'll find direction
    Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you
    What do you want me to do
    To watch for you while you're sleeping?
    Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too

    Look into any eyes
    You find by you; you can see clear to another day
    Maybe been seen before
    Through other eyes on other days while going home
    What do you want me to do
    To do for you to see you through?
    It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago

    Walk into splintered sunlight
    Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
    Maybe you're tired and broken
    Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
    What do you want me to do
    To do for you, to see you through?
    A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through

    Just a box of rain, wind and water
    Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on
    Sun and shower, wind and rain
    In and out the window like a moth before a flame

    And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there
    Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare
    And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair
    Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there

Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through?
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you
What do you want me to do
To watch for you while you're sleeping?
Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
You find by you; you can see clear to another day
Maybe been seen before
Through other eyes on other days while going home
What do you want me to do
To do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
To do for you, to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through

Just a box of rain, wind and water
Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower, wind and rain
In and out the window like a moth before a flame

And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare
And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there
