"Like The Weather" by 10000 Maniacs

[ natalie merchant ]


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 hid
away.

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 hid
away? 

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 hid
away? 
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake.
