Cloudman - Jimmy Webb

How much do I love you?

Just as far as I can reach you now

But the floor feels cold this morning

Yes, I feel there’s nothing left to teach you now

Soon, sweet lady

You will walk away from me

Into your own reality

But please, please remember air

Air is everywhere

The cloudman always sees it there

And waits to paint you pictures on the wind around you

Please recall the days when love found you

When the tide breeze rustling curtains in the summer evening

Bears the imprint of some distant twinkling chimes

Think about the cloudman sometimes

How much can I show you?

Just as far as I can see you now

But the rain dissolves the colours

'Til it seems the image can hardly be you now

Cold, short-sided rain

That flows between our eyes

We cannot see our own goodbyes

But please remember air

Air is everywhere

The cloudman always sees it there

And waits to paint you pictures on the wind around you

Please recall the days when love found you

And when the tide breeze rustling curtains in the summer evening

Bears the imprint of some distant twinkling chimes

Think about the cloudman sometimes

The cloudman always sees you there
