I made myself into a cloud
into a cloud I made myself
and I soared, silently,
under the moon
to see that you were sleeping
sound in your room

I sailed over the naked Earth
over the Earth, naked I sailed
and I emptied my rains
on hot desert sands
and I smiled when the curious
held out their hands

I changed my shape into a drum
into a drum I changed my size
and its easy to fall
its harder to rise
afterall I'm whatever
you see with your eyes

I found myself alone in the sky
alone in the sky I was
and I waited as long
as the wind would abide
to carry my friends
back to my side

Well some clouds are red at night
and some clouds are red in the morning
and some clouds leave
great tracks in the sky
but most of us are doing our best to float by
afterall we're whatever you see with your eyes
waiting on the wind to blow our friends
back to our side

A few notes on the song. When playing the C chord make sure you use your 4th finger to hold down the G note on the E string to get a fuller sound. Also the chords are all slowly finger picked (3 notes of each chord) until the "i changed my shape into a drum", on the next lyric start strumming fully. Watch the video on the barr bros site for a demonstration.
