Benjamin Devey - Clouds Lyrics

I've been thinking
About how the clouds
In their infinite variety
Of possible configurations
Take the shapes that we assign them
You see yours and
And I see my own
But once they're named
We see each other's clouds
In the moment before they're blown

You see what I thought were ships
But now they're tortoises
What once were streamers
Now are dragons
We see each other's cloud shapes
Seeing in agreement
That's what happens

And I've been thinking
About how our clouds
Are another way of saying
Our ways of thinking
That were both right and no one's wrong
You see yours and
And I see my own
We can both be right
To share the sight
And hear each other's song

You see what I thought were ships
But now they're tortoises
What once were streamers
Now are dragons
We see each other's cloud shapes
Seeing in agreement
That's what happens

The ways of our thinking
About lots of different things
Over years of seeing clouds
And sharing viewpoints
Different ways to get along
I can see yours and
And you can see what I've seen
We can both be right
To share the sight
And hear each other's song

You see what I thought were ships
But now they're tortoises
What once were streamers
Now are dragons
We see each other's cloud shapes
Seeing in agreement
That's what happens
We see each other's clouds
We learn to get along
To share the sights
And hear each other's song
