• Marvellous Clouds

I’m the son of the wild swan of Flanders
who sailed on a river of dreams
my mother, the swan, has left me and gone
my home is the banks of the stream.

And the marvellous clouds sail by
marvellous clouds
aloft in the soft summer sky
marvellous clouds.

I’ve seen all the lovers in doorways
I’ve heard every promise at dawn
I’ve spent too much time just standing in line
to be told I should move along.

And the marvellous clouds sail by
marvellous clouds
aloft in the soft summer sky
marvellous clouds.

I’ve looked at the eyes of your heroes
as they sailed home from far distant lands
the mud on their uniforms, mud on their boots
blood on their faces and hands.

And the marvellous clouds sail by
marvellous clouds
aloft in the soft summer sky
marvellous clouds.

My father the king of the mountain
looks down and watches his child
Come home says he, if you hate what you see
you’re young and the country is wild.

But I stay and I wait for the cannons
and the drums to stop drumming my ears
is it too late mankind, have you run out of time
it’s a matter of days or just years.

And the marvellous clouds sail by
marvellous clouds
aloft in the soft summer sky
marvellous clouds
marvellous clouds
marvellous clouds
the marvellous clouds.
