WHETHER THE WEATHER

We live in this temperate climate
No soaring highs, No desperate lows
Taking life just as we find it
That’s just the way that it goes
Passing by just like a raincloud
That can’t quite decide when to rain
Keeping us stuck in the shade now
One drop away from the pain

Dancing out into the sunlight
Fixed to a smile. No obvious cares
That’s when everything seems right
This side of sweet unaware
Hiding beyond the horizon
Unfair winds always blow
And we’ll be stranded in the eye of the outcome
Running with nowhere to go

And I wonder whether the weather ever gets you down
I wonder whether the weather ever gets you down

Hypnotised by the fall of the snow
Try not to look. There’s not much to see
Eventually nothing will show
Under a blanket of easy deceives
Lying and lying too long now
It will all melt away in the end
And we’ll dance back into the sunlight
One step away from pretend

And I wonder whether the weather ever gets you down
I wonder whether the weather ever gets you down

We live in this temperate climate
No screaming highs, No definite lows
Taking life just as we find it
That’s how it goes I suppose
Rushing out into a rainstorm
Just to feel the rain on your face
Drenched by the feeling of living
Heading to a much drier place

And I wonder whether the weather ever gets you down
I wonder whether the weather ever gets you down
