Like The Weather Lyrics

[ Natalie Merchant ]



The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey. 
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again. 
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather. 
A quiver in my lips 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. 
Quiver in my voice as I cry, 

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

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime. 
Now 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 lip 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 this 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 
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather. 
A quiver in my voice as I cry, 

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