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
