Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain  
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies  
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers  
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxies appear on the shore  
Waiting to take you away  
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds  
And you’re gone

Zoning in a hall of glass  
Plasma flowing from a cask  
Piercing overtones  
Mainline into my back pack

It’s full of clouds in my house  
It’s full of clouds in my house

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now.  
From up and down, and still somehow.  
It’s cloud illusions I recall.  
I really don’t know clouds at all.

Cloudy  
The sky is gray and white and cloudy,  
Sometimes I think it’s hanging down on me.

Whole world is to see  
No time to think  
Of things that I am missin’  
Wherever I go  
Black cloud’s followin’ me

Let me take you on a trip  
Around the world and back  
And you won’t have to move, you just sit still  
Now let your mind do the walking  
And let my body do the talking  
Let me show you the world in my eyes

In your eyes  
The light the heat  
In your eyes  
I am complete  
In your eyes  
I see the doorway to a thousand churches  
In your eyes  
The resolution of all the fruitless searches  
In your eyes  
I see the light and the heat  
In your eyes  
Oh, I want to be that complete  
I want to touch the light  
The heat I see in your eyes

Sad eyes, turn the other way  
I don’t want to see you cry  
Sad eyes, you knew there’d come a day  
When we would have to say “goodbye”

It ain’t easy drying these crying eyes of mine  
What can you do when those tears make you blind  
What can you do when those tears make you blind  
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
