    Weather Gets Warm

    Looked out this morning
    the sky was falling down
    the ice was forming in mid-air
    crashing like bones
    breaking when they meet with
    unforgiving ground

    I tried to turn the heat up
    but the pilot would not light
    I burnt out every match we had
    wishing the wind
    could invade some other home for just one
    unsuspecting night

    Will there be an end to this storm? 
    How long ‘till the weather gets warm? 
    Holding on for that breaking sun 
    Tell me how long ‘till the weather gets warm? 

    It’s been twenty days and thirty nights 
    since one of us got paid 
    the neighbor brought a bag of food 
    straining to stretch 
    a remedy of hope across his 
    un-denying face 

    Will there be an end to this storm? 
    How long ‘till the weather gets warm? 
    Holding on for that breaking sun 
    Tell me how long ‘till the weather gets warm? 

    We shut the door behind him 
    and we watched him walk away 
    the bag of food dropped from my hands 
    shaking and cold 
    down to my toes another 
    unrelenting day

    I wanna walk outside 
    barefoot in my lemon thyme 
    You put your hand over my eyes 
    and say 
    “Dream… 
    Dream… 
    Dream” 

    So you wrapped me in that blanket 
    Your mother had crocheted 
    we fell together on the couch 
    kissing like kids 
    finding ourselves in an 
    unauthorized embrace 

    Will there be an end to this storm? 
    How long ‘till the weather gets warm? 
    Holding on for that breaking sun 
    Tell me how long ‘till the weather gets warm? 

    Will there be an end to this storm? 
    How long ‘till the weather gets warm? 
    Holding on for that breaking sun . . . 

    Will there be an end to this storm? 
    How long ‘till the weather gets warm 
    Holding on for that breaking sun 
    tell me how long ‘till the weather gets warm? 

    Will there be an end to this storm? 
    How long ‘till the weather gets warm 
    Holding on for that breaking sun 
    Tell me how long ‘till the weather gets warm?
