Looking For a Sign

When the sky is blue,   and the chill is too
yet snow will not be seen
for it's too clear,  the sky's not near
to precipitate your dream

But when the sky,   is cold and nigh
one solid sheet of grey
a thick veneer,   that makes it clear
that snow is on its way

When the flies all bite,   on a warm summer nite
and the wind begins to blow
you know that soon,   clouds will cover the moon
and the rains will come and go

We look for signs,   that nature designs
to tell us what lies ahead
the sunny days,   the windy ways
of the storms that we all dread

If only life and love could be
like reading the signs of nature
perhaps we could look,   in an almanac book
and find what's in-store,  on paper

So easy  to read,   we'd have no need
for break-ups or  divorces
for we would know,   just where to go
no need to alter our courses

There'd be no pain, no tears to cry
no angry bitter quarrels
no mistakes and no heartaches
just bright and sunny tomorrows

So I'll take ample time,   to look for a sign
perhaps looking deep in your eyes
I'd be able to see,  if you're meant just for me
cause I know that they never tell lies

If they're clear as a bell,   I know I could tell
that their gaze is calling me home
that I've found a sure sign,   that you'll always be mine
never again, will I be - all alone.....

If only it were that easy ........
