Like The Weather lyrics

Song : Like The Weather
 

[ 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.
