Lyrics

I'm away, I'm away, from the lay of your lovin' arms,
I'm away, I'm away from the lay of your lovin' arms,
come back with a
come back with a
cloud in my mouth, to your loving arms
come back with a
come back with a
cloud in my mouth

oh, I, I don't know why I've gone,
oh oh oh I-I-I I don't know why, I've gone

I'm away, I'm away, from the lay of my lovin' arms,
I'm away, I'm away from the lay of my lovin' arms,
come back with a
come back with a
cloud in your mouth, to my loving arms
come back with a
come back with a
cloud in your mouth

oh, I, I don't know why I've gone,
oh oh oh I-I-I I don't know why, I've gone
away.....

Oh the change when I say it out loud to you,
my dear, am I showing or shrouding truth
wait,
wade through the mist of me
though we can't see,
and when I speak
oh my mouth full of clouds
I feel them come rolling out
I feel them come raining down.

blow the wind, the wind of my story,
shake my leaves, you shake them about,
roots grown down under my story
hold your ground in the path of my doubt,
in the path of me

You're away, You're away, from the lay of your lovin' arms,
You're away, You're away from the lay of your lovin' arms,
come back with a
come back with a
cloud in my mouth, to yourloving arms
come back with a
come back with a
cloud in my mouth

oh my mouth full of clouds
I feel them come rolling out
I feel them come raining down.
