Book...(difficult one, points for good guesses)[/b]
Q: "I am the morning, you are the light
You make the morning such a beautiful thing
I am the green grass, you are the rain
Fall on me, make me grow
No-one will ever know
Fall on me make me grow again"
It's from a song

In the Ghetto, by various. Most famously Presley, most infamously Paul de Leeuw. Easier because it's the opening line.
Let's see... anyone who is a fan of a certain kind of literature will know this, and the specific place, too, which really is required for a full answer. Anyone who isn't... good luck.
