10,000 Maniacs - Like The Weather Lyrics

Color of the sky as far as I can see
Is coal gray
I 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

Oh 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?

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime well
I'm far behind
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 voice as if I may cry

What a cold and a rainy day?
Where on earth is this 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 in such a long time, since my better day
I say my prayers nightly, this will pass away

The color of the sky is gray 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 may cry

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
