Lyrics

Look out of an y win dow, (Dm)an y morn ing, (Bb)an y eve ning, an y (F)day.

May be the sun is shin ing, (Dm)birds are wing ing, no (F)rain is fall ing from a (G)heav y sky.

What do you want me to do, to (Gm)do for you to (Dm)see you (C)through?

For (Bb)this is all a dream we dreamed one (Gm)af ter noon long a (F)go.

Walk out of an y door way, (Bb)feel your way, you.

feel can your way like the day be (F)fore.

May be you’ll (Gm)find di rec tion a (Dm)round some cor ner where (F)it’s been wait ing to meet (G)home.

you.

What do you want me to do, to (Gm)watch for you while you’re to (Dm)sleep you (C)ing?

Then (Gm)please don’t be sur prised

when you find me dream ing, (C)too.

(C)through.

It’s (Bb)all a dream we (Dm)dreamed

one af ter (C)noon

long a (F)go.

Walk in to splin tered sun light, (Dm)inch your way through (Bb)dead dreams to an oth er (F)land.

May be you’re tired and bro ken, your (Dm)tongue is twist ed with (F)words half spo ken and (G)thoughts un clear.

What do you want me to do, to (Gm)do for you to (Dm)see you (C)through?

A (Gm)box of rain will (Bb)ease the pain and (F)love will see you (C)through.

Just a box of rain,

(Gm)wind and (Dm)wa ter.

Be (Bb)lieve it if you need it.

If you don’t, just pass it on.

Sun and show er,

(Gm)wind and (Dm)rain,

in and out the win dow like a moth

be fore a (G)flame.

And it’s (C)just a box of rain.

I don’t know who put it there.

Be lieve it if you need it, or leave it if you dare.

And it’s

just a box of rain, or a rib bon for your hair.

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