CYNDI LAUPER - Box Of Rain lyrics

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 do,

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 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
