Title: as clouds go floating by
Post by: rightly on October 11, 2021, 03:18:16 PM
Ah,this is something I'm working on at the moment

I was thinking about my brothers, the closeness we once had
I see it as an ode to the loss of youth and the loss of those relationships of the time.

I think the lyrics are pretty much finished.
But I mean to step away from the drawing board
I might have fresh ideas on returning.

Feedback most welcome!


As Clouds Go Floating By
                     
 
it's sad, so many wishes won't come true
so sad when all of them are you
so sad its over, we never said good-bye
so sad it's under the same old dirty sky
as clouds go floating by
so sad
 
I'm here because it happens here
and there, I'm there to disappear
too bad the stars will not come out to shine
counting the minutes or killing time
a midsummer night's dream of mine
too bad

'give all I own to once repeat the past
learned and grown I should've known it couldn't last
how it all flew by so fast!
so fast

and quite contrary, you'll spare the sugarcane
worldly and weary, now bring on the, bring on the,
bring on the rain!
who said it's over we never said good-bye
who said it's under the same old funky sky
there's something in my eye
I didn't say it

as clouds go floating by
as clouds go floating by
