Clouds Lyrics

I've been thinking

About how the clouds

In their infinite variety

Of possible configurations

Take the shapes that we assign them

You see yours and

And I see my own

But once they're named

We see each other's clouds

In the moment before they're blown

You see what I thought were ships

But now they're tortoises

What once were streamers

Now are dragons

We see each other's cloud shapes

Seeing in agreement

That's what happens

And I've been thinking

About how our clouds

Are another way of saying

Our ways of thinking

That were both right and no one's wrong

You see yours and

And I see my own

We can both be right

To share the sight

And hear each other's song

You see what I thought were ships

But now they're tortoises

What once were streamers

Now are dragons

We see each other's cloud shapes

Seeing in agreement

That's what happens

The ways of our thinking

About lots of different things

Over years of seeing clouds

And sharing viewpoints

Different ways to get along

I can see yours and

And you can see what I've seen

We can both be right

To share the sight

And hear each other's song

You see what I thought were ships

But now they're tortoises

What once were streamers

Now are dragons

We see each other's cloud shapes

Seeing in agreement

That's what happens

We see each other's clouds

We learn to get along

To share the sights

And hear each other's song
