Weathervane by PigPen Theatre Co. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am the weathervane
I never said anything strange
But those in the storms who've lost their way
Seem to give me all their blame

[Chorus 1]
Oh well
Like the gallows
Or the weapons
Or the red nose
Or the rose with the thorns
Oh how I lost those days

[Verse 2]
So I started pointing my own way
Not the way the wind came
I brought spring without rain
But unlike blame received no praise

[Chorus 2]
Oh well
Like the teacher
The good mother
Or the writer
Or the bow for the bird
Oh how I made those days
Oh how I made those days
How I made those days
[Bridge]
Oh I won't lie I take my word for it now
Oh I won't lie I take my word for it
I take my word for it now

[Verse 3]
So look up to me before the sun
If you dare to know what's to come
I'll give you what's given me of news
From a far and in between
Clouds that hear the unheard
Storms with face arms and words
It's enough to make you say

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God [Crescendo]
