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
