Like the Weather Songtext
von 10,000 Maniacs

Color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
Shiver in my bones, just thinking about the weather
Quiver in my lip 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
A quiver in my voice as I cry

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


Hear the sound of a noon bell chime
Well, 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 voice as if I might cry

What a cold and a 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's 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
Shiver in my bones, just thinking about the weather
A quiver in my voice as if I might cry

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