Everything's Easy

It's cloudy today but no rain came

I sat and waited outside

The trees in the wind were all shaking

But the storms pass us by

So I turned on the news for an hour

And Matt Lauer was shaking his head

He said that the oceans are rising

So put your children to bed

Still on most days, I hear myself say

Everything's easy

But you never know, wherever I go

Is a way

A rocking chair, a cinnamon pear

Look up in the air, you're a millionaire

And if I could be anywhere I could be

I'd be anywhere

Because my life is only mine to hold

The nights are cold, and it's snowing

In Vermont, but all that I want is here

In the clear light of the street light

Still on most days, I hear myself say

Everything's easy

But you never know, wherever I go

Is a way

I guess I was dreaming

The oceans were steaming

And when I started to wake up

I dreamed Derek Jeter

At bat with St. Peter

He hit a home run, and Jesus won

The pennant and cup

It's cloudy today but no rain came (A spiral stair, a sordid affair)

I sat and waited outside (Look up in the air, you're a billionaire)

The trees in the wind were all shaking (If I could be, anyone I could be)

But the storms pass us by (I'd be anywhere)

So I turned on the news for an hour (Because my life is only mine to hold)

And Matt Lauer was shaking his head (The nights are cold and it's snowing in Vermont)

He said that the oceans are rising (But all that I want is here)

So put your children to bed (In the clear light of the streetlight)

Still on most days, I hear myself say

Everything's easy

But you never know, wherever I go

Is a way
