Rain City Rondo

Soggy gray skies
Been hanging 'round this week
Puddle-jumpin’s gettin’ old
My mind’s gettin’ kinda moldy
It’s like a bad case of headcheese
I'm talkin’ about baby

Lately the day's grind
Winds
On into the night
Nothin’ feels right
There's nothing but bad news
And I still haven't got used
To you gone

So I think I'll just sit here
And hum me a new tune
Somethin’ blue and lazy
I know you think I'm crazy
But I don't care

I care so much about you
Been crying my eyes out
Without you
It's gettin’ so my eyes
Are like
Soggy gray skies

Rain City Rondo

Hello, Richard,
I feel the blues here, feel those soggy gray skies. You got the blues, Baby!
Well done!
