There Are More Clouds In The Sky Today Than Yesterday

Losing my friends, losing my love

Like before, I look right - I look left

I smash the glass, I yell, “Father! I am sick!”

The glass breaks, the glass falls, the glass, everywhere glass

 

So, love opens up

Love opens the door

Ajar forever, he is the clock, she is the wind

Swimming in this ocean

Decisions are tripled

 

You thought I would never phone you

You thought I turned away and would never look back

Thorns and needles, stones and rocks, burnt ashes and broken glass

 

The world collapses around us

Magnified magnificent - the world pauses

Clouds parting, I’m in the air now

Fire is burning, flowers are blooming

 

She escapes through my fingers

The last strand of hair floats away forever

Dancing across the sky

She is the star in my heart that keeps me alive
