Like the weather

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

And by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime. Well I'm far behind.
Here you 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 may 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
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 I fall again.
I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my head as if I may cry.

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"
A cold and rainy day. I shiver, quiver, and try to wake...

Eh. I prefer cold, rainy, cloudy weather myself. That's 'cos I'm evil... Seriously, sunny weather days are common as dirt in Florida, though I will admit that this has been the rainiest summer I have seen in years. Don't worry, things should clear up soon -- the winter is our "dry" period.

Andrea, I think we have a wet winter in store for us this year like we had in '98. El Niño is back again, although slightly milder this go 'round.
