Lyrics:
- Look out of any window, any morning, any evening, any day.
- Maybe the sun is shining, birds are singing,
- 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 are sleeping?
- The 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,
- 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.
