Box Of Rain Lyrics - Cyndi Lauper

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
