Clouds – by David Gates

I was very very young the first time I heard this song (honest!). I was thinking about what has made a mark in my life and this song has been around me all this time. Now, what you have to do is click play and read the lyrics below. 😀

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.
