|
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 |
