The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
I wonder if people who live in the south feel that line from "Desperado" the way we in the north do. Those days when the stubborn sky is dark, ugly, and angry are so familiar to us, and every time we have one I think of Don Henley or Linda Ronstadt signing that song.
Yesterday was one of those days here. It had snowed the day before, then got "warm" - 34 degrees or so. Some of the snow, now dirty and ugly, remained, while some melted and turn bare earth to cold mud. The sky was dark and overcast as a cave, and, looking up, it could have been dusk, dawn, or high noon. The cold wind gusted, and the dead leaves blew around your feet. It was the kind of day when you just wanted it to do something - anything - else, but the sky wouldn't snow and the sun won't shine.
