Oneonta Clouds Lyrics

High up here in the hills

Where silence stole the breeze

The arms and hands are still

On the bodies of the trees

But how could it be so loud

The river running through

The valley to the sea

Under Oneonta clouds

The sky is seldom blue

The opposite of me

If I could take Route 23

Outrun my sadness on the street

Even still it always stays with me

Like it's sitting in the passenger seat

In this sultry summer shroud

The mountains only mind

The nights that never cool

Under Oneonta clouds

Humidity reminds me

Every season's cruel

With flowers blooming later

Than anywhere around

In the incubator

The cradle of a sound

I'm crawling through the crowd

Naked in the night

Walking through the wind

Under Oneonta clouds

I'm looking for the light

That hides away within
