The rain it started tapping On the window near my bed There was a loophole in my dreaming So I got out of it And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open Just my nightstand and my dresser Where those nightmares had just been So I dressed myself and left then Out into the gray streets But everything seemed different And 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 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 awhile Then I asked him how he felt He said I think Im cured No, in fact, Im sure of it Thank you, stranger For your therapeutic smile So thats how I learned the lesson That everyones alone And your eyes must do some raining If youre ever gonna grow And when crying 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 singing baby dont worry Cause now I got your 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 We know well never solve 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 then Wed stand staring in awe At our still lives posed Like a bowl of oranges Like a story told By the fault-lines and the soil
