TITLE: Box of Rain
Lyrics and Chords


Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging, no rain is fallin' from a heavy sky

/ D Am / Em C G / D Am / Em G A  /

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

/ D G / Am Em D / C D / Am G /

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 waitin' to meet you

What do you want me to do
To watch for you while you're sleepin'
Then please don't be surprised
When you find me dreamin' too

... / Am C / G D /

Look into any eyes
You find by you, you can see clear to another day
Maybe it's been seen before
Through other eyes on other days while goin' 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

... / Am C / D G /

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

... / Am C / G D /

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

/ G - Am Em / C A D - / G - Am Em / C D Em A /

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

/ D Em G D / - Bm G A / D Em G D / Em - G DC GD Asus4 /
