Natalie Merchant Like the Weather Lyrics

the color of the sky as far as I can see is coal gray
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
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, fell 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 a 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

boy it's such a long time since my better days
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
with a 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
