In the Shadow of the Clouds

Jandek


We're in the shadow of the clouds 
All there is is brown and blue 
And when I think about it all 
I can't forget the downfall 
And all the pieces of the place 
The rain upon my hungry face 
I got to go, I got to go 
I don't really want to know 
It's just my mind won't let me free 
I'm not blind, I can see 
The shock of knowing you are gone 
A long term life that I must give 
To the downfall of our dreams 
As my eyes looked through it all 
I saw the fury and the fire 
And I heard the thunder sound 
I felt the raining in my heart 
As time went by and you weren't there 
Now all I see is brown and blue 
In the shadow of the clouds 
The death and panic have passed by 
I couldn't help but pass them to you 
Something senseless on that day 
I can't help but look away 
I stared it in the face and I knew 
No matter how much time went by 
We walk and talk somewhere unknown 
In the shadow of the clouds
