Cloud Cover Lyrics

Cloud cover comin in

Purple, green and grey

The turmoil of a wetter wind

Gives an excuse to stay

The animals find shelter in

The hollow from the hound

And similar I hunker down

Everything occurs

When thunder sounds

I look around I look around

It don't matter what I've found

Now I can see the roots

The dirt has gone away

It's less the earth shrinking back

It just moves from place to place

And sometimes

When I'm filled with doubt

Loneliness abounds

I probably just wandered off

Part of me is sprawled

Upon the ground

I look around I look around

It don't matter what I found

But I've been folded up

For a long time

An ant upon a string

Might make it fine

I've been all holed up

In the meantime

It might not take a thing

Might make it fine

I walk backwards in the snow

With my eyes along the ground

It's easy to deceive the brain

The body has it all so figured out

I look around I look around

It don't matter what I've found
