The rain it started tappin, on the window near my bed
There was a loophole in my dreamin, so I got out of it
And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open
To my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been
So I dressed myself and left them, out into the grey streets
But everything seemed different, completely new to me
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body
And each person I encountered, I couldnt wait to meet
And I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health
I said theres nothing that I can do for you that you cant do for yourself
He said Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help
So I sat with him a while, and I asked him how he felt
for your therapeutic smile."
So thats how I learned the lesson, that everyones alone
And eyes must do some raining, if youre ever gonna grow
And when cryin dont help, you cant compose yourself its best to compose a poem
An honest verse of longing, or a simple song of hope
Thats why Im singin baby dont worry, cause now I got you back
And every time you feel like crying, Im gonna try and make you laugh
And if I cant, if it just hurts too bad, then well wait for it to pass
And I will keep you company, for those days so long and black
And well keep working on the problem, that no one ever solved
Of loves uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a whole
But if the world could remain within a frame, like a painting on a wall
Then I think wed see the beauty and, wed stand staring in awe
