Recorded by Boz Scaggs (1976)

Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forever more… forever more

Close your eyes my dear
And you can be with me
‘Neath the waves
Through the caves of hours
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… 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
Hold me dear
All’s forgotten now
We’re all alone
