Listening for the Weather - Bic Runga

Did the world wake up on the wrong side of bed Sleepy hard to the red hot pounding head I'm surprised that we still managed to circle the sun We should all be dead and buried with the damage we've done 10 p.m rolls around, it's the same old tale A shooting here and the following political trail I grab a beer and I sit down on the floor Change it over to the comedy on Channel 4 I only watch it for the weather And at least that's all for sun Don't tell me this goes on forever The weather ain't for everyone All these guys in suits seem to make all this pain What good's a rainbow without any rain It's always crying and a questions somebody else Change the channel be far you lose your sense of self My little sister doesn't look at the papers they read All doom and gloom never walk we've achieved And I don't play 'em in every night at 10.:25 Switch it over and hope the weatherman's alive I only watch it for the weather And at least that's all for sun Don't tell me this goes on forever The weather ain't for everyone I only watch it for the weather And at least that's all for sun Don't tell me this goes on forever The weather ain't for everyone And sometimes it turns out to be a cloudy day I know that comes summertime there will be drop the rain You see, this problems, they are seasonal I given up and I don't watch at all I only watch it for the weather And at least that's all for sun Don't tell me this goes on forever The weather ain't for everyone I only watch it for the weather And at least that's all for sun Don't tell me this goes on forever The weather ain't for everyone Don't tell me this goes on forever The weather ain't for everyone

Don't look so sad I know it's over But life goes on And this old world Will keep on turning Let's just be glad We had some time to spend together There's no need to watch the bridges That we're burning Lay your head Upon my pillow Hold your warm and tender body Close to mine Hear the whisper of the raindrops Blowing soft, across the window And make believe you love me One more time For the good times I'll get along You'll find another And I'll be here If you should find You ever need me Don't say a word About tomorrow, or forever There'll be time enough for sadness When you leave me Lay your head Upon my pillow Hold your warm and tender body Close to mine Hear the whisper of the raindrops Blowing soft across the window And make believe you love me One more time For the good times For the good times.

Take your time make peace with the day, Lying on the ground and cold feet, And never mind what people will say, Talking is thoughtless and cheep I only said it to be kind, I wont pretend to be nieve, And thoughts arrive like leaves on the page, Trying and hoping to be, You and i like birds in a cage, Dreaming how once we were free, The evening closes on the wire, I saw you hiding in the eeves, Dont leave me hanging all the while, A shadow underneath the trees I only want you to be mine, I only want you to be free, If either on of us is right, It must be sealed to be believed I only want you to be mine, I only want you to be free
