Bowl of Oranges-Bright Eyes

[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
