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 hidaway? 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 hidaway? 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 hidaway? I shiver, quiver, and try to wake
