Robert Hunter Quotes
What do you want me to do,
To watch for you,
To see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain,
and love, will see you through.
Hunter, Robert. "Box of Rain." American Beauty, Warner Bros. Records, 1970.
Robert C. Christie Hunter was an American lyricist, singer-songwriter, translator, and poet, best known for his work with the Grateful Dead. Born near San Luis Obispo, California, Hunter spent some time in his childhood in foster homes, as a result of his father's abandoning his family, and took refuge in reading and writing. He attended the University of Connecticut for a year before returning to Palo Alto, where he became friends with Jerry Garcia. Garcia and Hunter began a collaboration that lasted through the remainder of Garcia's life.
