 So, I'm listening  for the weather,
 To predict  the coming day.
 Leave all thought  of expectation
 To the weatherman.
 No it doesn't  really matter
 What it is  he has to say,
 'Cause tomorrow's  keep on blowing  in
 From  somewhere.
 All the people  that I know
 In the apartments  down below,
 Busy with  their starring roles
 In their own tragedies.
Sunlight sends  you on your way,
 And those restless thoughts  that
 Cling to yesterday.
 Never be  afraid of  change.
 I'll call  you on the phone.
 I hate to leave  you on your own,
 But I'm coming  home today.
 And this busy  inner city
 Has got nothing  much to say,
 And I know  how much you're
Hanging  'round the letterbox.
 And I'm sure  that as I'm writing,
 You'll be somewhere  on your way,
 In a supermarket  checkout
 Or a restaurant.
 I've been doing  what I'm told.
 I've been busy  growing old,
 And the days  are getting cold,
 but that's alright  with me.
 Yes I'm co-ming home  today.
