Lucky Witch & the Righteous Ghost - Weather Song

from SpinTunes 22 Round 1 by Spintunes

/

about

Nephology = the study of clouds. Not to be confused with nephrology, which is the study of kidneys.

lyrics

Last night I thought of what I’d say to you
Dazzle you with tales of saturnalia
but when I saw you in the park reading Hemingway
I lost track of the things I wanted to say
I studied nephology to show you the sky
Memorized your favorite poems line by line
Started daydreaming, picturing you laughing
all I could say is “nice weather we’re having”

I wanted to tell you how I feel for you
then the words go, and the words go, and the words go
and I talk about the weather

You told me your dreams of being an author
How your life changed when you lost your father
When you wanted to know what I care about
It felt like a drought had formed in my mouth
I studied the birds to show you on walks
I planned out jokes, all the little talks
You bared your soul to me; I was unprepared
All I could say was, “boy, it’s hot out there”

I wanted to tell you how I feel for you
then the words go, and the words go, and the words go
and I talk about the weather

Barometric pressure, cumulus clouds
Sudden sunshower, what’s that all about
Ball lightning, rainbows, hail
Talking to you, all the words fail
Climate change bringing heat waves
Have you ever been in an earthquake
Monsoons and acid rain
Thinking of you, words get in the way

I wanted to tell you how I feel for you
then the words go, and the words go, and the words go
and I talk about the weather
