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?
