Lyrics Clouds - The Go-Betweens

Clouds

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 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
