Like the Weather

Color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again Shiver in my bones, just thinking about the weather Quiver in my lip 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 A quiver in my voice as I cry What a cold and a rainy day Where on earth is the sun hid away? Hear the sound of a noon bell chime Well, 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 voice as if I might cry What a cold and a 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 Four poster, dull torpor, pulling downward? For it's 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 Shiver in my bones, just thinking about the weather A quiver in my voice as if I might cry A cold and a rainy day Where on earth is the sun hid away? A cold and a rainy day I shiver, quiver, and try to wake
