Like The Weather
10000 Maniacs
Letra

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather
A quiver in my lips 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
Quiver in my voice as I cry

What a cold and rainy day
Where on earth is the sun hidaway?

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime. Now 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 lip as if I might cry
What a cold and rainy day
Where on earth is the sun hidaway?

Do I need someone here to scold me
Or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of this
Four poster dull torpor pulling downward
For it is 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
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather

A quiver in my voice as I cry
What a cold and rainy day
Where on earth is the sun hidaway?
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake
