Songs:How's The Weather (95433)

Lyrics

dear James no matter where you are
when I write you I put sun in the envelope
tonight if you were here with me
we'd drink red wine and cups of tea
the fog came all the way to Market Street tonight
like god was pulling out all her special effects
in some last ditch effort at making this street holy again
and the hooker on the corner's having a busy night anyway
so tell me

how's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there
how's the weather

dear Lee I opened your letter
like an orange bursting on my skin
the peel got stuck under my nails
and for hours I could smell California sun
but it's raining out and I've had no customers for hours
so I took the dog for a drive and we backed into a pole
I don't know how long I can survive
with no heater in my cab driving through this London cold
without you

how's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there
how's the weather

dear James, it's so quiet tonight
the house just creaks and shifts in the wind
the wood in these walls
must be yearning to be trees again
I thought I'd be glad when the school year ended
but all of a sudden there's too much space
I'm thinking of painting my bedroom bright yellow & green
I wish you were here to help me clean up the mess

how's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there
how's the weather

dear Lee I got your letter
but it's soaked & blurry from the rain
the pages are all stuck together
but I can make out some details just the same
I'm troubled by your choice of yellow & green
I know you're prone to sudden extremes
so I need to save you from yourself
I'll be arriving with the papers a week from today
don't do anything

how's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there
how's the weather
