Overcast

Ab
Poppy seed
Eb
Sesame
Db-Ab-Eb
Sitting pretty on your mother’s knee

Little pea
Blueberry
Something brewing that I’ve never seen

Dbadd9-Ab-Eb
Like a spell that hides the sun away
Db-Ab-Eb
You’re growing brighter every day
Ab-Eb
And I can’t stay

Ab-Eb
In the wide open spaces
Far from home
Dbadd9-Ab-Eb
White sky tears in my
Eyes alone

Ab-Eb
In the wide open spaces
A fading hue
Bbm-Fm7-Eb
Sunrise burning
From red to blue

Ab-Eb-Ab
And the white clouds dreaming
The white clouds dreaming
Of you

Olive, Walnut
Lime, or Plum
It isn’t often but now I’m struck dumb

Mr. Apple
Good sir lemon
I can’t find you this far from heaven

Db-Ab-Eb
Like a spell that hides the sun away
Db-Ab-Db
You’re getting brighter every day

Bbm-Db-Eb7
I’m on my way
Just one more day
Just one more day

In the wide open spaces
Far from home
White sky tears in my
Eyes alone

In the wide open spaces
A fading hue
Sunrise burning
From red to blue

And the white clouds dreaming
The white clouds dreaming
Of you

Little peach
Out of reach
Out of sight on a cloudy beach

Mango, Banana
Turnip fair
Light brown halo in your mother’s hair

Like a spell that hides the sun away
You’re getting brighter every day
And I can’t stay

In the wide open spaces
Far from home
White sky tears in my
Eyes alone

In the wide open spaces
A fading hue
Sunrise burning
From red to blue

And the white clouds dreaming
The white clouds dreaming
Of you

Overcast (Shelter)

All the ruthless smiles
The toothless miles I walked
To win your heart
In the listless eyes
Of suicides
Love is a liar’s art
Did you grow much fonder
When we were apart?
Overcast in June
The lasting moon undone
Behind your sky
With my shard wings fledged
Razor-edged
I’m ready enough to fly
Will you rise now with me?
Are you married to your lie?
In the summer fury, bolted down
To hang your ruthless smile

In your cemetery form
May your silence keep you warm
May the distance wrap you tight
And the starless arch of night
Give you shelter from my storm

All the songs we write
The wrongs we might have done
The beds we’ve made
And did not lie down
In coastal towns
Sucked by the wind-swept waves
When do you remember
The skies so gray?
Love is like the leaden
Sky, dead heaven’s dome
I can’t see through
In the grave-lost sighs
Of suicides
The whispering ghosts of you
I have missed you so long
I have never been so strong
Under cloud walls sitting, pen in hand
To write our perfect song

In your cemetery form
May your silence keep you warm
May the distance wrap you tight
And the starless arch of night
Give you shelter from my storm

The sun has finally risen
Somewhere over there,
I expected bright blue skies
But it's cloudy everywhere.

And as I wake up from the darkness
That comes just before the dawn

It's overcast, all pink and gray
I had such hopes for today
But all those hopes are fading fast
More rain coming, it's overcast.

The wind's not quite so chilly
Though it still has a bite
But what my heart is hungry for
Is a bit of something bright.

And as I step out of the darkness
That came just before the dawn

(chorus)

And I hear you trying to tell me
There will be blue skies overhead,
Right now all I want is to go back to bed...

(chorus - chorus - outro)

Overcast
by Berkeley Social Scene

I’m driving on the overpass
I'm almost nearly out of gas
Got a feeling that this just can’t last
And it will all be in the past

It’s overcast, and it’s raining down
I’m on the brink, I’m gonna drown
It’s overcast, and it’s raining down
I’m on the brink, I’m gonna drown

I’m waiting for a truck to pass
I slowly let off of the gas
So this is what it feels like last
Once in the front now in the past

It’s overcast, and it’s raining down
I’m on the brink, I’m gonna drown
It’s overcast, and it’s raining down
I’m on the brink, I’m gonna drown

When it starts to rain the oil is slick
Ease up on the gas or your gonna miss

Motion blurs in the glass
Endless hills of golden grass
Memory of the scene is strong
If only this drive wasn't so long

It’s overcast, and it’s raining down
I’m on the brink, I’m gonna drown
It’s overcast, and it’s raining down
I’m on the brink, I’m gonna drown

It’s overcast, and it’s raining down
I’m on the brink, I’m gonna drown
It’s overcast, and it’s raining down
I’m on the brink, I’m gonna drown
