You said it was summer
He said
But all I’ve seen
Is rain
Welcome to the North East
She said
Where two days
Are never the same
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
You said it was summer
He said
But all I’ve seen
Is rain
Welcome to the North East
She said
Where two days
Are never the same
It never quite gets dark
This time of year
Which makes the sky so pretty
But when you’re already
Struggling to sleep
It’s actually just shitty
I sit and wonder
If the weather today
Will be any less shit
Than before
Oh, who am I kidding
The clouds are forbidding
So it’s obvious
What’s in store
I suppose I should be happy the sun is shining again,
Feel a spring in my step at the lighter evenings,
Be comforted by the warmth on the back of my neck.
But I couldn’t give a shit.
It means nothing.
None of it melts the ice in my heart.
