lyrics

Well I fell in love with a cloud that floated by
But she broke my heart with the cold wind of the night
Then she saw me walking and turned off all the rain
But I had seen her crying and I thought I was to blame

So I held my breath for a year to ease the pain
And I acted tough at the sweet sound of her name
But then I saw her dancing so high up in the sky
And I could feel her watching from the corner of her eye

But she drifted off, and fell out of my mind

Now some words ring true, but most Truths they’re hard to find
And one steady voice is still strong enough to lie
Cuz in the moonlight, gawking, and making such a noise
While in my headroom, talking, that should come as no surprise

And what was once love, sinks slowly into rust
And letters lost behind you in the dust
Cuz in the meanwhile, questions, well they’re fought like all the rest
And while we meant well, working, the axle in my chest

But I drifted off, and fell out of my mind

Now, one thing’s for sure:
Is we can never tell which way the wind will blow
Until we find our way
So, hold on as we go, for we forgot to say to
Lighten up your load unless you're hellbent on some helping
And, away we go!
Where all the languages that you thought that you would know
Well they’re getting tangled in the Spangle and the Snow
Until that reservoir is two inches below
The line you thought you’d need for melting

So, yeah I fell in love with a cloud that floated by
And she broke my heart with the cold wind of the night
And when they saw me walking, they turned on all the rain
And I could hear them laughing without a hint of shame

But they drifted off, and fell out of my mind
