Sticky Summer Weather

John Denver · Take Me to Tomorrow [1970]

Sticky summer weather always pains me

It's like living beneath a blanket I can't breathe

The days are like an oven, the nights forever

Nothing to do, not much else to see



Then again I can't stand the thought of winter

Aint got a fire, there's nobody to keep me warm

The night is grey, and my coffee tastes so bitter

My memories go ragin, like a storm



Seems like twenty years ago it was springtime

The rain was sweet, the wind was cool and clean

I had a girl, she was a lady I could talk to

Now its almost like she'd never been



I've been a long time lookin' for rainbows

Trying' to find a way to believe in tomorrow



There was a time I think when I remember dreaming

There was a reason I can't find it now

As I recall, It almost made my life worth livin'

It must be hiding like the sun behind the clouds



I've been a long time lookin' for rainbows

Trying' to find a way to believe in tomorrow



Sticky summer weather always pains me

It's like living beneath a blanket I can't breathe

The days are like an oven, the nights forever

Nothing to do, not much else to see



I'm spending a long time looking for rainbows
