Lyrics
Cotton clouds over fields of wheat
Like white biscuits baking on a sheet
They make the sky look so painfully blue
An old color that still seems new
I drive down the highway
There?s a lot for me to do
I?d miss the clouds
Lead skies after an all day rain
When the sun pokes through again
A golden slit above the avenue
Like a peak into God?s livingroom
It just lasts a momont
But it lifts me from the gloom
I?d miss the clouds
I?ve been struggling my whole life
It?s harder every day
It?d be so easy to give up
But that would be a mistake
Grey clouds race across the moon
On a windy night in June
Like angry ghosts heading for the east
You could never tame that beast
We lie by the window
And feel the evening breeze
I?d miss those clouds
