[Verse 1]
The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal gray
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 lip as if I might cry

[Chorus]
What a cold and a rainy day
Where on earth is the sun hid away?

[Verse 2]
I hear the sound of a noon bell chime, well, I'm far behind
You've 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 lip as if I may cry

[Chorus]
What a cold and a rainy day
Where on earth is the sun hid away?

[Bridge]
Do I need someone
Here to scold me or do I need someone
Who'll grab and pull me
Out of this 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
[Verse 3]
The color of the sky is gray as I can see through the blinds
Lift my head from the pillow and then I fall again
I get a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather
A quiver in my lip as if I may cry

[Chorus]
What a cold and a rainy day
Where on earth is the sun hid away?
A cold and a rainy day
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake
