The Grateful Dead - Box of Rain lyrics
[The Grateful Dead - Box of Rain lyrics]
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?
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?
Then 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
Maybe 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 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
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?
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?
Then 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
Maybe 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 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
