Songs for an Impossible Musical #9
Norman sits in his armchair , gazing out at the garden, and croons comfortably:
The Cloudy Day Song
This year ferocious summer sun Roasted every afternoon, And splashing children thought it fun, And blackberries came on too soon But now they've dropped away And it's a cloudy day.
It's a cloudy day now, and a gentler light Brings richer colours to the field When shadow-edges lose their bite And subtler patterns are revealed. Yes, it's a cloudy day And I am going grey.
I am going grey now, and the heat of youth Has moderated comfortably. Though I'm no nearer to the truth, I'm easier with the world I see. Yes, I am going grey And it's a cloudy day. George Simmers
