Lyrics
Clouds
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.
See the clouds adrift so far below
Everchanging as they come and go
Makes me wonder why I'm up so high
When really I am down so low
Of all the wonders I was one allowed
I think that I would always choose a cloud
Always brings my feelings right out loud
Whether I'm ashamed or proud
On this airplane comin' home to you
Sometimes I think I've flown my whole life through
My whole life through
As I wing my way to you
See the clouds they're giving life below
In colors that the canvas cannot show
Keeping secrets no one else could know
For I'm the one who told them so
Now and then, I get up close to you
I'd like to stay, but I'm just passing through
So I'll have to say goodbye
Until next time I fly
