CYNDI LAUPER - Box Of Rain lyrics

rate me

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
