Like The Weather

[ 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.
