Like The Weather

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
