The Idle Race
A Better Life (The Weatherman Knows)
[Verse 1]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Oh, don't you cry
Maybe tomorrow, a better life
Oh, if you try

[Chorus 1]
The rain is falling all around
Storm came, it brings you down
But if you lose your mind
Weatherman, in his overcoat

[Verse 2]
Look up in the sky, now
The weatherman cry, now
Oh, on the window pane
Down in the valley
Up in the alley
Oh, it's pouring rain

[Chorus 2]
The rain is falling all around
Storm came, it brings you down
So let your mind roll on
Weatherman dries the lonely tears
[Verse 3]
Early in the morning
While the sun's still yawning
Oh, it smiles on you
Maybe today, a better life
Oh, if we try

[Chorus 3]
The sun is shining all around
It warms your heart and melts the clouds
But if your mind can't see
Weatherman smiles a lonely smile
