The rain's too hard, the streams are too high
Too many people, barely getting by
Some haven't yet paid for last winter's heat
Labour Day is done and the ends don't meet
Wise men say temperature's rising
And there's more water in the air
It comes down with a vengeance
Which no memory can compare
We are low in expectations
But a body's belt can only go so tight
'Til it interferes with the circulation
And you will, with all your might
Dawn into day, day into night
The sun's too bright, the light too white
Some days I can't sleep at night
Changes come too fast and leaves you slow
Reason overcome by the show
So we don't talk about the weather
Quite as often as we did
Conversations go to children
Voices low, our fears well hid
We don't talk about the weather like we did
Being low in expectations
But a body's belt can only go so tight
'Til it interferes with the circulation
And you will, and all your might
Dawn into day, day into night
We build our hopes up along the way
Day into night, night into day
We build our hopes up along the way
Day into night, night into day
Day into night, night into day
