美國實力歌姬［夏卡．康］──靈魂放克／迪斯可舞曲──〔Clouds／雲〕

 

 

Clouds
Different shapes and sizes
Hiding the horizon

Clouds
In the distance
Coming to change my plans
All my dreams will melt like sand

Clouds
The moment that you say good-bye
Theyre going to rush right to the sky

Whoa
Baby, baby, please dont go

Its going to rain
Its going to rain
Its going to rain down tears
Of heartaches and fears

Its going to rain
Its going to rain
I know for sure
Cause you dont reach for me no more

Its going to rain
Its going to rain
There in the distance
Is that number one pain

Clouds
Thunder is the warning
So dark and so alarming

Clouds
Go away, go away
Go, dont take away my sunny days

Clouds
Leave me be
Getting so dark out
I just cant see
