lyrics
Dear James, no matter where you are,
when I write you I put sun in the envelope.
Tonight, if you were here with me,
we'd drink red wine and cups of tea.
The fog came all the way to Market Street tonight.
Like god was pulling out all her special effects,
in some last ditch effort at making this street holy again.
And the hooker on the corner's having a busy night anyway, so tell me
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather?
Dear Lee, I opened your letter,
like an orange bursting on my skin.
The peel got stuck under my nails
and for hours I could smell California sun.
But it's raining out and I've had no customers for hours.
So I took the dog for a drive and we backed into a pole.
I don't know how long I can survive
with no heater in my cab driving through this London cold, without you
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather?
Dear James, it's so quiet tonight,
the house just creaks and shifts in the wind.
The wood in these walls
must be yearning to be trees again.
I thought I'd be glad when the school year ended
but all of a sudden there's too much space.
I'm thinking of painting my bedroom bright yellow & green,
I wish you were here to help me clean up the mess, so tell me
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather?
Dear Lee, I got your letter
but it's soaked & blurry from the rain.
The pages are all stuck together
but I can make out some details just the same.
I'm troubled by your choice of yellow & green
I know you're prone to sudden extremes.
I need to save you from yourself.
I'll be arriving with the papers a week from today, don't do anything.
How's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather?
when I write you I put sun in the envelope.
Tonight, if you were here with me,
we'd drink red wine and cups of tea.
The fog came all the way to Market Street tonight.
Like god was pulling out all her special effects,
in some last ditch effort at making this street holy again.
And the hooker on the corner's having a busy night anyway, so tell me
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather?
Dear Lee, I opened your letter,
like an orange bursting on my skin.

and for hours I could smell California sun.
But it's raining out and I've had no customers for hours.

How's the weather over there,
how's the weather over there,
how's the weather?
