This Weather

from Demos by Jay Kayle

lyrics

It's here again
The start of the end
It's been nearly a year since the cloak turned the bend
You turned away and the canvas turned brown
Like the leaves that have fallen now litter the ground
I hoped I'd be okay but hope wished on a black cat in town

Spring was a flood but October was wetter
Water fills holes in her hand-me-down sweater
If you know a place to call home then you'd better
I don't think there's much I can do in this weather

Lock tight the hatch
And light up a match
We can burn all our dreams, I just hope that they catch
Ain't it a shame just watching me go grey
Like the branches that bend in the dark of the day
And by snowfall I'm meling on ice just to recall the rain

Spring was a flood but October was wetter
Water fills holes in her hand-me-down sweater
If you know a place to call home then you'd better
I don't think there's much I can do in this weather

We've been hopeless enough that we know
After the frost there's nothing that can grow
The days leave so fast but the nights are so slow
I can't see the sunshine from twenty below
If Jesus was born in this ache and these winds
It's no wonder he saw the world so full of sin
Hell, who wouldn't wish we could die and rise again

Spring was a flood but October was wetter
Water fills holes in her hand-me-down sweater
If you know a place to call home then you'd better
I don't think....

Spring was a flood but October was wetter
She washed away and left only her sweater
I thought by this time I'd surely know better
I don't think there's much I can do in this weather
