the dead tongues - i'm a cloud now lyrics

go on get your red shoes on
let’s get out of town
maybe there’s a place for the two of us
somewhere in the clouds
fly me to the moon on a sp+ceship
take me to the liquor store
hear you saying you wanna go faster
well maybe just a little more
keep burning, burning that oil
keep turning that water to steam
keep winding, tearing through the limestone
further, further downstream

we were winding some blue country road in the south appalachia
you wеre smiling in the passengеr seat rolling a cigarette on the dash
you said you’d be taking a new name and asked me what i thought about will
“see ever since i can remember i’ve been waiting for god’s eyes to close
and there’s something about being in motion that’s like being nowhere
that’s like getting spread out and scattered like old seeds” you said
we kept thinking that clouds were mountains the mountains were clouds
then i went down on you out in the apple orchard and the rain came

heartbreakers are playing on the stereo
cat shadow is dancing on the moon
keep driving till the dawn for the h+ll of it
still it comes too soon
hear “the waiting is the hardest part”
but that ain’t true for me
could be the lonesome
could be the darkness
or maybe it’s the silence
oh yeah that’s the hardest part
silence is the hardest part
it’s the silence
it’s the silence
so i sat quiet just staring at a white wall
tried not to think at all
had a vision that showed me a story
of how it ever got this far
i could hear the sound of your crying
i was chewing on the fruit from the vine
is this really how it all got started
a garden in another life?

i remembered how the city lights reflect off the east river
and how the train sank underground
and how it never made sense no matter how many times
i saw all those people running around
well, maybe this trip ends at the end of my curiosity
my eyes closed and your voice covered me
i dreamt of heat lightning, cold rain, minnows and saw dust
cloudy water on broken glass
i woke up with a snake at my feet looking for new skin

i went down to the church of the pentecost
to see if they could understand
and they told me about christ and the cross
and the blood of the lamb
i been out in the den with the lion
i been down in the belly of the whale
ever since i left that garden
i been fighting like h+ll
anoint me with the holy oil
put your hands on my head
hold me down underwater
till there’s nothing but a river left
i thought i had it, the it that rains
thought i could make sense of it again
but everytime i keep turning up empty
slipping through the palm of my hands
then i felt a love strong enough
to let it go
i felt a love strong enough
to let it go

i’m a cloud now
drifting away
i’m a cloud now
with a million faces
i’m a cloud now
drifting on by
i’m a cloud now
fading into sky
