It's cloudy today but no rain came
I sat and waited outside
The trees in the wind were all shaking
But the storms pass us by
So I turned on the news for an hour
And Matt Lauer was shaking his head
He said that the oceans are rising
So put your children to bed
Still on most days, I hear myself say
Everything's easy
But you never know, wherever I go
Is a way
A rocking chair, a cinnamon pear
Look up in the air, You're a millionaire
And if I could be anywhere I could be
I'd be anywhere
Because my life is only mine to hold
The nights are cold, and it's snowing
In Vermont, but all that I want is here
In the clear light of the streetlight
Still on most days, I hear myself say
Everything's easy
But you never know, wherever I go
Is a way
I guess I was dreaming
The oceans were steaming
And when I started to wake up
I dreamed Derek Jeter
At bat with St. Peter
He hit a home run, and Jesus won
The pennant and cup
