Lyrics

WEATHER OR NOT

In the valley of the shadow,
Up a creek without a paddle.

Yeah, my future is looking grim,
And there’s nothing I can do,
But hope you get over him
Before I get over you.

The sun has chosen to skip today,
And let the night work a double shift.
In the darkness, I silently pray
Your last kiss won’t be my parting gift.

Yeah, the sun has chosen to sleep in,
And let the clouds take over the sky.
The morning fog clings to my skin,
And I’m trying hard not to cry.

In the valley of the shadow,
Up a creek without a paddle.

Yeah, my future is looking grim,
And there’s nothing I can do,
But hope you get over him
Before I get over you.

The sun’s saving itself, I guess;
The forecast calls for an all-day rain.
Weather or not, my life’s a mess –
It’s overcast, and I’m under a strain.

The sun’s not watching this downpour –
A case of “out of sight, out of mind.”
I’m not sure what I’m waiting for,
Don’t think these clouds are silver-lined.

In the valley of the shadow,
Up a creek without a paddle.

Yeah, my future is looking grim,
And there’s nothing I can do,
But hope you get over him
Before I get over you.
