Box of Rain

 

A   Bm7/A   A   Asus4

 

D   Am    Em    C   G             Look out of any window any morning, any evening, any day.

D   Am    Em    G    A            Maybe the sun is shining, Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky.

D    G    Am     Em      D        What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?

C    D    Am      G                   For this is all a dream we dreamed, one afternoon long ago.

 

D   Am    Em    C   G             Walk out of any doorway. Feel your way, feel your way like the day before.

D   Am    G    A                      Maybe you'll find direction around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you.

D    G    Am     Em      D        What do you want me to do? To watch for you while you're sleeeeeeeeping?

Am    C    G    D                     Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too.

 

D   Am    Em    C   G             Look into any eyes you find by you, you can see clear to another day.

D   Am    Em    G    A            Maybe been seen before through other eyes on other days while going home.

D    G    Am     Em      D        What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?

C    Em    D    G                     It's all a dream we dreamed, one after-noon long a-go.

 

D   Am    Em    C   G             Walk into splintered sunlight, inch your way through dead dreams to another land.

D   Am    Em    G    A            Maybe you're tired and broken, your tongue is twisted with words half-spoken and thoughts unclear.

D    G    Am     Em      D        What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?

Am    C    G    D                     A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.

 

G        Am    Em                     Just a box of rain, wind and water

C    A    D                               Be-lieve it if you need it, if you don't, just pass it on.

G        Am    Em                     Sun and shower, wind and rain.

C    D    Em    A                     In and out the window, like a moth before a flame.

 

D    Em    G    D                     And it's just a box of rain. I don't know who put it there;

D    Bm    G    A                     Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.

 

D    Em    G    D                     And it's just a box of rain or a ribbon for your hair.

Em         G    D                       Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there.
