Storm clouds cruising cross the blue skies

Shadows float across the fields of barley

I find myself an island in an island

I have to sort things out just my way

And all I find is my bar

To laugh to me I say

Like all you know is true

Is for every time we know it's mine

I saw clouds cruise floating cross the blue sky

Shadows float across the fields of barley

Hero down the right ... way

Everything will come out my way

Now I know, I see, I find

It's the only way I ever felt the way I do today

All I say, I play the game

I know I never could be sure of all the places that I've seen

Clouds cruising cross the blue skies

Shadows float across the fields of barley

Every self an island in an island

Working every problem out my way

Now I see, I feel, I know

It's the only way that anything could sort out to the way

I say you'll find it's out of mind

It's the only way I could have been

It's the only way I stand

Clouds cruise

Float upon the barley
