A Break in the Clouds
I met a man I didn't knowthat asked me: "How are you doing?"Shoulda just said, "Fine,"'cause it's all he wanted to hearBut for reasons unknown in a sorrowful tone I said"Man, it's been a hell of a year,
And I don't really know where I'm goingAnd I might just be hanging aroundIf life's shades of grayThen I guess you could sayThat I've been waiting for a break in the clouds."
I went to go see some gypsy to tell me my futureBut she asked for my photograph insteadAs I walked through the coldwith my fortune untold I said"Good luck trying to reach me when I'm dead.
'Cause I don't really know where I'm goingAnd I might just be hanging aroundIf life's shades of grayThen I guess you could sayThat I've been waiting on a break in the clouds.That I've been waiting for a break in the clouds.
I saw the love I used to know swallow me wholeOn a day I was out of clean clothesShe sized me up and she said,"Honey, how is your head?"I said, "You can't call me honeybut, honey, heaven only knows."
And I don't really know where I'm goingAnd I might just be hanging aroundIf life's shades of grayThen I guess you could sayThat I've been waiting for a break in the clouds.
Bet your gonna be findin' a break in the cloudsNo, no, no I don't know where I'm goingAnd I might might might just be hanging aroundAnd if life shades of grayThen I guess you could sayThat I've been waiting for a break in the clouds.
