Heart With Clouds

Soon, lady, we'll reenter the ozone

As the perfect bell tones sound

From the towers way across the town.

The orange and blue lights

Fade in the half-dawn

It's Saturday morning

And everyone's breathing

Their hearts are beating.

Pianos ripple like water

Splattering against the shore.

They're playing a haunting

Song, a folk song

.

Hey lady, listen

Swirls of particles

Move through my veins.  I'm warm

And in no need of food

As I wake and walk out

Through the peaceful light,

The intense bright morning.

All I hear is rain

Each drop condensed

Falling onto the city.

Hey lady.  My heart

Sings you a song

I thought my heart

Was gone.  Was lost.

Leaving the space within empty

But it's here, right here, with me

I'm moving through the streets

Singing an old song

But my heart's not in it

It's up there, among the clouds
