10,000 Maniacs - Like the Weather

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal gray

Four poster, dull torpor pulling downward

With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather

A cold and rainy day

A cold and rainy day

And by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe

The color of the sky is gray as I can see through the blinds

Where on earth is the sun hid away?

Do I need someone here to scold me?

For it's such a long time since my better days

Or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of?

What a cold and rainy day

"What a cold and rainy day

I say my prayers nightly, this will pass away

Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave

I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather

A quiver in my lip as if I might cry

I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather

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

A quiver in my voice as if I may cry

Where on earth is the sun hid away?

Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again

I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather
