blue, near you, grey, your away

woke up this morning and for the first time in years
I looked out my window to great the sun with cheer
see use to be I see the sun, and wish that it was raining
cause why should the world have joy and I alone crying

but today I have no lonely tears, the clouds rolled back like curtains
parted storm clouds on each side and a dent less blue in between
and oh how good the breeze felt with just a touch of Autumn, coming

Today for the first time since my childhood, I meet the day with a song
and it gave me strength, like eagles wings, and I sored through the day
all though it was long, the work was hard, but I smiled the entire way 

but today the sun shine sank low, the night beacon to grow
and felt that old familiar feel, that makes me feel real low
I wished that it would rain, I wished that it would pour, and when the
creek had come a ground, I wished it to rain some more.
but I'm glade the wish maker, ignored me, I'm much too tired to swim

and if the stream carried me away I would not be with him
you know the one who gave me something to smile about, while
I was at work
the one who kissed the storm good by and whose face makes me smile
oh how sweet but so far away now, so please let's not be merry
but rain instead, no sun I said, until once more he's here with me.
