[00:02.714]The rain it started tapping
[00:04.563]On the window near my bed
[00:06.690]There was a loophole in my dreaming
[00:09.083]So I got out of it
[00:11.220]And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open
[00:15.737]Just my nightstand and my dresser
[00:17.873]Where those nightmares had just been
[00:20.256]So I dressed myself and left then
[00:23.448]Out into the gray streets
[00:24.789]But everything seemed different
[00:26.891]And completely new to me
[00:29.024]The sky the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body
[00:33.807]And each person I encountered
[00:36.149]I couldn't wait to meet
[00:38.557]And I came upon a doctor
[00:40.155]Who appeared in quite poor health
[00:42.008]I said there's nothing that I can do for you you can't do for yourself
[00:46.525]He said oh yes you can, just hold my hand, I think that that would help
[00:51.569]So I sat with him awhile
[00:53.701]Then I asked him how he felt
[00:55.821]He said I think I'm cured
[01:00.063]No, in fact, I'm sure of it
[01:02.992]Thank you, stranger
[01:06.187]For your therapeutic smile
[01:26.902]So that's how I learned the lesson
[01:29.311]That everyone's alone
[01:31.436]And your eyes must do some raining
[01:33.551]If you're ever gonna grow
[01:35.939]And when crying don't help
[01:37.281]You can't compose yourself
[01:38.337]It's best to compose a poem
[01:40.724]An honest verse of longing
[01:42.857]Or a simple song of hope
[01:44.969]That's why I'm singing baby don't worry
[01:47.373]'Cause now I got your back
[01:49.510]And every time you feel like crying
[01:51.909]I'm gonna try and make you laugh
[01:54.024]And if I can't
[01:55.084]If it just hurts too bad
[01:56.408]Then we'll wait for it to pass
[01:58.802]And I will keep you company for those days so long and black
[02:03.066]And we'll keep working on the problem
[02:05.470]We know we'll never solve
[02:07.579]Of love's uneven remainders
[02:09.457]Our lives are fractions of a whole
[02:11.841]But if the world could remain within a frame
[02:14.241]Like a painting on a wall
[02:16.613]Then I think we'd see the beauty then
[02:18.737]We'd stand staring in awe
[02:21.396]At our still lives posed
[02:24.322]Like a bowl of oranges
[02:27.768]Like a story told
[02:31.488]By the fault-lines and the soil
