Box Of Rain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging
Or rain is falling from a heavy sky
What do you want me to d
To do for you to see you through?
This is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, 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?
Well please don't be surprised
When you find me dreaming too
Look into any eyes
You find by you, you can see
Clear through to another day
I know it's 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
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
But 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
