Cloud Cities

 Oh to be up in the clouds

in the castles way up high

Oh to be believing

That I shall never die


Oh to be up in the cloud castles

Where worlds range and people are free

Up in the clouds where heaven awaits

And I am simply me


Oh to be up in the cloud castles

Where so many worlds exist

And inside this, and outside that

And nobody will be missed


Oh to be up in the cloud castles

Where buzzards reign

Oh to be up in the cloud castles

Where we are all the same


Oh to be up in the cloud castles

Up where the cities of gold shine

In the bright sunlight

Where they walk light footed and swift

Big Sky

 There was a storm over the corn

On the day that you were born

Over the hills, a long, long way

Long, long way to go still


There was a dark cloud on the horizon

And a blue moon it was rising

There was a storm, storm over the corn

On the day, the day you were born


There was a kestrel in the sky

There was an apple in the pie

It was a case of do or die

And there was a storm rolling in 

to the big blue sky

In the big sky, in the big sky

Yes in the big sky


Where we shall fly,

When we cry in the big sky

In the big sky


There was a man on the hill

He was standing there, standing so still

Just a giant, with a giant will

Holding up the sky

Holding up the big sky


And they pick the bright green corn

Just like the day that you were born

In the big sky, in the big sky

Came from a big sky, came from a big sky


In the big sky, where we do fly

Where crows they cry, and spindles sigh

That's the place where you and I

Will go when we die

Yes in the big sky, in the big sky

Both you and I, both you and I

Yes in the big sky, in the big sky

You and I, yes you and I
