Ode #2 to Jack Johnson: Weather Girl

Ain't nothing else for me to do but wait
Salty stormy pale moon rain ain't going away
Least not any time soon
Forecast calls gloom

Thousand beautiful spoons til one fork came along
Who went so right, who went so wrong
It's not all there, but it's not all gone

Remember those two turtles by the sea
You said they were just like you and me
You said, "Come live with me and be my shell
We'll live life full and live it well
Play by the sea, just you and me
I'll be your weather girl
Cause if we're together
No matter what falls from the sky I'll call for sun"

Ain't nothing else for me to do but wait
For you to call in a different fate
Forecast sun instead of rain
Bright noon love instead of pain

Let's change what could have been to what still could be
Change dry land back to our dreams
Won't you come out of your shell
I'll love you full and love you well

Come back and be
My weather girl
Play by the sea, just you and me
