Like The Weather
10,000 Maniacs Song Lyrics

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 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 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.
