I made myself into a cloud

Into a cloud, I made myself

And I soared silently under the moon

To see that you were sleeping sound in your room

I sailed over the naked earth

Over the earth, naked I sailed

And I emptied my rain on hot desert sands

And smiled when the curious held out their hands

I changed my shaped into a drum

Into a drum I changed my size

It’s easy to fall, it’s harder to rise

After all I may never be seen through your eyes

I found myself alone in the sky

Alone in the sky I was

And I waited as long as the wind would abide

To carry my friends back to my side

‘Cause some clouds are red at night

And some clouds are red in the morning

And some clouds leave great tracks in the sky

But most of us are doing our best to float by

After all we may never be seen through your eyes

Waiting on the wind to blow our friends back to our side
