State of Our Affairs

The morning wears a veil of rain

Above the city I live in

The traffic's edgin' forward again

But no one knows where they're goin'

Could it be the sign of our affairs I'm seein'?

'Cause we'll still be here

When the  weather turns and blue skies reappear

When you're crestfallen

Well, you climb Mt. Desolation yet again

And you find they're all just ordinary men

Find some comfort in the bar

And hear the news from my brother

He tore his happiness apart

And says his heart won't recover

Is this just a sign of our affairs I'm seein'?

'Cause we'll still be here

When the weather turns and blue skies reappear

When you're crestfallen

Well, you climb Mt. Desolation yet again

And you find they're all just ordinary men
