Box of Rain

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.

Ripple

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine 
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, 
Would you hear my voice come thru the music, 
Would you hold it near as it were your own? 

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken, 
Perhaps they're better left unsung. 
I don't know, don't really care 
Let there be songs to fill the air. 

Ripple in still water, 
When there is no pebble tossed, 
Nor wind to blow. 

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, 
If your cup is full may it be again, 
Let it be known there is a fountain, 
That was not made by the hands of men. 

There is a road, no simple highway, 
Between the dawn and the dark of night, 
And if you go no one may follow, 
That path is for your steps alone. 

Ripple in still water, 
When there is no pebble tossed, 
Nor wind to blow. 

You who choose to lead must follow 
But if you fall you fall alone, 
If you should stand then whos to guide you? 
If I knew the way I would take you home.
