Clouds — текст песни (The Go-Betweens)

The clouds are here
They aren`t up in the sky.
I cupped them with my hands
and reached up high.

I said to these clouds,
"no more am I blind.
I have to see straight
and that will make me unkind."

Visions of blue,
I`m angry, I`m wise.
And you, you`re under cloudy skies.

Blue air I crave, blue air I breathe
They once chopped my heart the way you chop a tree.
Told to equate achievement with pain
I took their top prize and paid them back with rain.

Visions of blue
I`m angry I`m wise and you.
You`re under cloudy skies.

Blue air I crave blue air I breathe
they once chopped my heart the way you chop a tree.
Told to equate Achievement with Pain
I stole their top prize and paid them back with rain.

Visions of blue I`m angry I`m wise and you.
You`re under cloudy skies. Visions of blue
Preverse and strong and you.
You`re under cloudy skies.
What I did once I now do everyday.
