The Whitlams - Little Cloud lyrics

Little cloud is searching For a sign of something stirring In the hearts of those below and they all sleep Civic pride and order To raise a son and daughter Staked out and all made clear who got here first Ah honey can I hold you And play rewind in my head? I don't know my people anymore Can I stay with you instead? Picture a little boy lying under his bed His brother's playing outside in the dirt And the fence it shimmers in the heat Like it wants to disappear Little cloud is creeping Across the city sleeping Who below would try and wake from a bad dream? I woke early, what did I see But a clear sky, a clear sky Looked out my window and what did I see But a clear sky in paradise Picture his momma, little girl on her knee Following a piece of shade under a tree And the fence it shimmers in the heat Like it wants to disappear
