Listening for the Weather Lyrics by Bic Runga

Beautiful Collision

2003

[Verse 1]
So I'm listening for the weather to predict the coming day
Leave all thought of expectation to the weatherman
And no, it doesn't really matter what it is he has to say
'Cause tomorrows keep on blowing in from somewhere
[Pre-Chorus]
All the people that I know in the apartments down below
Busy with their starring roles in their own tragedies
[Chorus]
Sunlight sends you on your way
And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change
[Post-Chorus]
I'm callin' on the phone
I hate to leave you on your own
But I'm coming home today
[Verse 2]
And this busy inner city
Has got nothing much to say
And I know how much you're hanging 'round the letterbox
And I'm sure that as I'm writing
You'll be somewhere on your way
In the supermarket checkout or a restaurant
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been doing what I'm told
I've been busy growing old
And the days are getting cold, but that's alright with me
[Chorus]
Sunlight sends you on your way
And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change
[Post-Chorus]
I'm callin' on the phone
I hate to leave you on your own
But I'm coming home today
Yes, I'm coming home today
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been doing what I'm told
I've been busy growing old
And the days are getting cold, but that's alright with me
[Chorus]
Sunlight sends you on your way
And those restless thoughts that cling to yesterday
Never be afraid of change
