Strange Weather

Dark clouds hang on the edge of night Behind the hills shoots a moonbone light Its a cold world Strange weather Heard footsteps at the backyard gate Saw a stranger's breath on the window pane Its a cold world Strange weather Sometimes I wonder what day it is They pass like cars on highway 66 An angel's remorse is a devil's delight Longing for misery don't make it right Last time I saw you was on a long slow train Rain washed down on that train window pane Been ten long years, prob'ly be ten more Till the sun melts the ice on my back door Don't wake it up I got a message through I crossed your mind Let me answer back, you're not in mine Well 'cept for maybe, once or twice Particularly around midnight when I'm rollin' high dice Last time I saw you was on a long slow train And telephone wires danced cross that train window pane Been ten long years, prob'ly be ten more Till the sun melts the ice on my back door Don't wake it up I dreamed I saw you in another world All dressed in black and wearin' river pearls The light in your hair lit up the moon in the sky The stars on your lips caught the blood in my eye You said you had somethin' that would do me good Your deep dark and endless eyes guaranteed it would It's been ten long years Prob'ly be ten more Now the sun's started shinin' on my back door? Don't wake me up Don't wake me up Don't wake me up baby Don't wake me up Don't wake me up Dark clouds hang on the edge of night Behind the hills shoots a moonbone light Its a cold world Strange weather
