Lyrics for Box of Rain by Grateful Dead
Songwriters: Hunter, Robert; Lesh, Philip
It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago
Through other eyes on other days while going home
Walk out of any doorway, feel your way, feel your way
Look into any eyes you find by you, you can see clear
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you
Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on
Believe it if you need it, or leave it if you dare
Sun and shower, wind and rain
In and out the window like a moth before a flame
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?
Through dead dreams to another land, maybe you're tired and broken
Walk into splintered sunlight, inch your way
What do you want me to do, to watch for you while you are sleeping?
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
And it's just a box of rain or a ribbon for your hair
Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too
Like the day before, maybe you'll find direction
Just a box of rain, wind and water
No rain is falling from a heavy sky
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
To another day, maybe been seen before
For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago
A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through
And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there
