If the weather’s kind of foggy
And the ground is extra soggy

And all the air is sort of gray
You really can’t see far away

It feels like rain is going to pour
But it’s just mist and nothing more

It’s MAUZY

If you are out that time of day
When evening’s soon to go away

The sun is crawling into bed
The moon is not yet overhead

It’s not quite day and not quite night
It’s not quite dark and not quite light

It’s DUCKISH
