Out Of The Clouds

about

At last - a week and a day of writer's-block is breached, and here's song 33 - lyrically, no prizes for guessing what was on my mind here...

This demo is a basic acoustic one with the guitalele, and I definitely want to re-record it - partly because I can "hear" it with a band arrangement (and I haven't had the chance to lay down one of those for a bit), but also because I can definitely improve on the vocal phrasing in the acoustic version. Not sure when I can get around to the re-recording, but I might well make an extra effort!

lyrics

Finally - the fog is lifting
Gradually - the grey dissolves to blue
Although I knew it was just a case of time
The wait is worse when there’s nothing you can do

[chorus]
And I run to collect the flakes that descend
Out of the clouds
I scoop the air with a butterfly net
From here on the ground
It felt like so long - can’t wait ‘til they’re gone
So I’ll stay and play for as long as I’m allowed

From down here, the clouds look cotton-woolly
If you flew, you’d find it’s cold and wet
But if you ask, I’d leap off terra-firma
And I haven’t given up fishing for ideas yet
