Like The Weather
10,000 Maniacs

     The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.  Lift my head

from the pillow and then fall again.  With a shiver in my bones just

thinking about the weather.  A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.  Well

by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.  Lately it seems

this big bed is where I never leave.  Shiver in my bones just thinking

about the weather.  Quiver in my voice as I cry, "What a cold and rainy

day.  Where on earth is the sun hid away."  I hear the sound of a noon bell

chime.  Now I'm far behind.  You've put in 'bout half a day while here I

lie with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.  A quiver in

my lip as if I might cry, "What a cold and rainy day.  Where on earth is

the sun hid away?"

     Do I need someone here to scold me or do I need someone who'll grab

and pull me out of this four poster dull torpor pulling downward.  For it

is such a long time since my better days.  I say my prayers nightly this

will pass away.

     The color of the sky is grey as I can see through the blinds.  Lift my

head from the pillow and then fall again with a shiver in my bones just

thinking about the weather.  A quiver in my voice as I cry, "What a cold

and rainy day.  Where on earth is the sun hid away?"  I shiver, quiver, and

try to wake.
