The Barr Brothers - Cloud (for Lhasa)

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
I emptied my rain on hot desert sand
I smiled when the curious held out their hands

I changed my shape into a drum
Into a drum I changed my size
It's easy to fall, harder to rise
After all, I'm whatever you see with your eyes

I found myself alone in the sky
Alone in the sky I was
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 grey tracks in the sky
But most of us are doing the best to float by
After all, we're whatever you see with your eyes
Waiting on the wind to blow our friends back to our side
