Outside the rain begins And it may never end So cry no more, on the shore a dream Will take us out to sea Forevermore, forevermore Close your eyes and ami And you can be with me 'Neath the waves, through the caves of hours Gone, forgotten now We're all alone, we're all alone Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin Learn how to pretend Once a story's told It can't help but grow old Roses do, lovers too, so cast Your seasons to the wind And hold me dear, oh, hold me dear Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin All's forgotten now We're all alone, all alone Close the window, calm the light And it will be all right No need to bother now Let it out, let it all begin Owe it to the wind, my love, hold me dear All's forgotten now, my love We're all alone
