Outside the rain begins and it may never end
So cry no more on the shore of dreams
Will take us out to sea
Forever more, forever more
Close your eyes and dream and you can be with me
Neath the waves through the caves of ours
Long 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, 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
Throw it to the wind, my love
And hold me dear, oh, hold me dear
All's forgotten now, my love
