Box Of Rain - Grateful Dead
Music by Phil Lesh
Words by Robert Hunter
Bm7/A x00202
Intro
Verse 1
Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky
Chorus
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
Verse 2
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
Chorus
What do you want me to do?
To watch for you while you're sleeeeeeeeping?
Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too.
Instrumental
Verse 3
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
Chorus
What do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed, one after-noon long a-go
Verse 4
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
Chorus
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.
Verse 5
Just a box of rain, wind and water
Be-lieve 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
Outro
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.
