Clouds (Song For John)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I'll walk around
Get a feel for this place
And maybe I'll just stay put
It won't go anywhere
There's not a whole lot that I could do
To get you off my mind
Not that I wanted to
Not that I haven't tried
And then I go
Oh woah, oh woah-oh-oh
Oh woah, will they ever know?
Oh woah, oh woah-oh-oh
Oh woah, will they ever know?
In there's the sun
The kind of quiet that hurts
The kind you can't explain
You can't quite put into words
I'm surrounded by pieces of you
Frozen in time
For no good reason
Mmm
But you're only as far as the moon and stars
I'm remembering how great you are
And I'm wondering
Mmm
If they know
Oh woah, will they ever know?
Oh woah, will they ever know?
Oh woah, will they ever know?
Oh woah, will they ever know?
