Bad Days - Adrian Belew

I knew the weather was supposed to turn gray

but I didn’t know it’d never go away

until I answered when my telephone rang

bad days coming my way

'cause I heard my baby saying

she’s gonna be leaving me bad days must be on my tracks

'cause I heard my baby saying

she won’t be coming back

bad days

followed by those awful nights

I could’ve told you she was tired of my ways

I had no more surprises up my sleeve

but when she went away it sure surprised me, oh bad days must be on my back

'cause I sense my baby’s never

she’s never coming back

bad days must be here to stay

'cause it seems so long since she,

since she went away

bad days

and always those awful nights

So this morning when I slept so late

I couldn’t move beneath the heavy weight

I heard somebody at my backyard gate, oh there she was coming through the haze saying,

«Hold me, baby, and I hope I’m not too late»

bad days are never coming again

because I heard my baby say she’s,

she’s never leaving me happy days

and no more of those awful nights
