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, 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
 And 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
