Bowl Of Oranges - Bright Eyes[00:00:01]

The rain it started tapping on the window near my bed There was a loophole in my dreaming [00:00:02]

So I got out of it And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open [00:00:08]

Just my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been [00:00:15]

So I dressed myself and left then out into the gray streets [00:00:20]

But everything seemed different and completely new to me [00:00:24]

The sky the trees houses buildings even my own body [00:00:28]

And each person I encountered I couldn't wait to meet [00:00:33]

I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health [00:00:37]

I said "I am terribly sorry but there is nothing I can do for you[00:00:41]

You can't do for yourself "[00:00:44]

He said "Oh yes you can Just hold my hand I think that would help "[00:00:45]

So I sat with him a while and then I asked him how he felt [00:00:51]

He said "I think I'm cured No in fact I'm sure [00:00:55]

Thank you Stranger for your therapeutic smile "[00:01:02]

So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone [00:01:27]

And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow [00:01:31]

But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself [00:01:35]

It is best to compose a poem an honest verse of longing or simple song of hope [00:01:37]

That is why I'm singing [00:01:44]

Baby don't worry cause now I got your back And every time you feel like crying [00:01:45]

I'm gonna try and make you laugh And if I can't if it just hurts too bad [00:01:51]

Then we will wait for it to pass and I will keep you company[00:01:56]

Through those days so long and black [00:02:00]

And we'll keep working on the problem we know we'll never solve[00:02:02]

Of Love's uneven remainders our lives are fractions of a whole [00:02:07]

But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall [00:02:11]

Then I think we would see the beauty [00:02:16]

Then we would stand staring in awe at our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges [00:02:18]

Like a story told by the fault lines and the soil[00:02:27]
