^DLook out of ^Amany window ^EmAny morning, ^Cany evening, any ^Gday

^DMaybe the ^Amsun is shining ^EmBirds are winging, no ^Grain is falling from a ^Aheavy sky ^DWhat do you ^Gwant me to do, to ^Amdo for you to ^Emsee you ^Dthrough? For ^Cthis is all a ^Ddream we dreamed, one ^Amafternoon long ^Gago

^DWalk out of ^Amany doorway ^EmFeel your way, ^Cfeel your way like the day ^Gbefore

^DMaybe you'll ^Amfind direction ^EmAround some corner where ^GIt's been waiting to ^Ameet you

^DWhat do you ^Gwant me to do? To ^Amwatch for you while you're ^Emsleeeeeeee^Dping? Then ^Amplease don't be sur^Cprised when you ^Gfind me dreaming ^Dtoo

^DLook into ^Amany eyes ^EmYou find by you, you can ^Csee clear to another ^Gday ^DMaybe been ^Amseen before through ^Emother eyes On ^Gother days while going ^Ahome ^DWhat do you ^Gwant me to do, to ^Amdo for you, to ^Emsee you ^Dthrough? It's ^Call a dream we ^Emdreamed, one after-^Dnoon long a-^Ggo

^DWalk into splintered ^Amsunlight, ^Eminch your way through ^CDead dreams to another ^Gland ^DMaybe you're ^Amtired and broken, your ^Emtongue is twisted with ^GWords half-spoken and ^Athoughts unclear

^DWhat do you ^Gwant me to do, to ^Amdo for you, to ^Emsee you ^Dthrough? A ^Ambox of rain will ^Cease the pain, and ^Glove will see you ^Dthrough

^GJust a box of rain, ^Amwind and ^Emwater Be-^Clieve it if you ^Aneed it, if you ^Ddon't, just pass it on

^GSun and shower, ^Amwind and ^Emrain ^CIn and out the ^Dwindow, like a ^Emmoth before a ^Aflame

^AAnd it's ^Djust a box of ^Emrain I don't ^Gknow who put it ^Dthere ^DBelieve it if you ^Bmneed it, or ^Gleave it if you ^Adare.

^AAnd it's ^Djust a box of ^Emrain Or a ^Gribbon for your ^Dhair Such a l^Emong, long time to be gone And a ^Gshort time to be ^Dthere
