State Of Our Affairs

Morning wears a veil of rain
Above the city I live in
The traffic‘s edging forward again
But no-one knows where they’re going

Could it be a sign of our affairs
I’m seeing?
Cause we’ll still be here
When weather turns, and blue skies reappear
And you're crestfallen
Well you climb Mt. Desolation yet again
And you find we’re all just ordinary men.

Find [bad word] in a bar
And hear the news from my brother
He tore his happiness apart
And says his heart won’t recover

Is this just a sign of our affairs
I’m seeing?
Cause we’ll still be here
When weather turns, and blue skies reappear
When you're crestfallen
You climb Mt. Desolation yet again
And you find we’re all just ordinary men.
