The sun ain’t shining anywhere.
The clouds, they are hiding.
I was born on the other side.
Ever since, I’ve started dying.
The air is getting harder to breathe all the time.
Good thing the sky don’t mind.
I was leaning on the weeping willow tree,
Trying to manufacture a sigh.
The days passed by when I was inside.
I’ve been in my body this whole time.
You’ve been in the western US,
trying to find the big sky.
Mountains kept kicking you out there.
Did you ever get to ask them why?
I would read you like a book
and see you pages of nonsense.
I’d open you up right to page one
If I could only find your table to contents.
