Little Clouds, Little Creatures

[Verse 1]
Little clouds drifted across the sky
Four small shapes in a crooked line
From the first to the third, I swear
They were people just hanging in the air
[Chorus]
Little clouds, little creatures
Faces folded into features
I keep pointing up, you just smile
Say it’s all in my mind, all in my mind
But I see them every time
[Verse 2]
Then a fourth one lagged behind
Tiny camel with an arched spine
Elephants with their heads held high
Parading, fading, in the high blue wide
[Chorus]
Little clouds, little creatures
Marching over tired dreamers
I keep pointing up, you just smile
Say it’s all in my mind, all in my mind
But I see them every time
[Bridge]
Maybe they’re stories
Drifting till somebody looks
Maybe they’re memories
Lost from unwritten books
I trace them, replace them
Till they almost look like us
[Chorus]
Little clouds, little creatures
Carrying our quiet secrets
I keep pointing up, you just smile
Say it’s all in my mind, all in my mind
But I see them every time
