See the World By Night

Lyrics

You know I don't control the weather But I can pray that the moon will rise And maybe somehow make it all better for a while Maybe we could write God a letter Or we could cast our gaze into the sky And ask if he would pull the lever that makes it all right Your family said, "Boy, leave, go learn to be a man!" And you saw the world by night from the back seat of a van Then you made a life by the sea writing poetry A way to make a living of which you never coulda dreamed You know I don't control thе weather But I can wish for the sun to arrivе And maybe things will slowly get better in time You got your wish, you got out, your dreams were mostly made To see the world by night from the window of a plane, hey Found someone to love you, you did your best to love her back, hey Back home where you're from, that's the measure of a man, hey No, I don't control the weather No, I don't control the weather No, I don't control the weather
