Well your smile's been broken by A hundred cloudy days You're heading down to California Because the living is easy there Nobody knows your name But it's only time before they find you Cause you just can't name your enemies When you don't know what they've done You get so strung out on all their gossip It becomes your only source of fun But April yeah you're doing fine Writing down your column in the Portland times Listening to the records of the friends you've known Trying to hear their stories and the truths they've told And the sun falls fast in the winter sky But these clouds are going to stay a while Try your best to show a smile now April Well It gets so dark down there In your basement room Sometimes its days before the sun shines And you get so tired there Your bed fits like a womb Sometimes its hard to see the point in trying But you stay that way When you stay alone You don't answer the door You don't pick up the phone And the smoke turns the room a hazy blue Those old habits They fall over you But April yeah you're doing fine Writing down your column in the Portland times Listening to the records of the friends you've known Trying to hear their stories and the truths they've told And the sun falls fast in the winter sky But these clouds are going to stay a while Try your best to show a smile now April Try your best to show a smile now April Try your best to show a smile now April
