Lyrics for Song: Like The Weather
Lyrics for Album: Trilogy [2005]
The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.
I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry.
And by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
I get 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 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 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
four poster dull torpor pulling downward.
For 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 grey as I can see through the blinds.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my voice as if I may cry,
"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"
A cold and rainy day. I shiver, quiver, and try to wake.

Like The Weather
Released on the 2005 Trilogy album, 'Like The Weather' stands as a defining track for the 10,000 Maniacs, blending their signature acoustic intimacy with atmospheric production. The song captures the band's ability to weave melancholic melodies with lush instrumentation, reflecting themes of impermanence and emotional vulnerability characteristic of their later work. Recorded during a period where the group continued to explore the boundaries of alternative rock and folk, the track exemplifies their commitment to organic soundscapes. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of quiet contemplation, resonating with listeners who appreciate the band's nuanced approach to songwriting and their mastery of creating immersive musical environments without relying on heavy distortion. |
