lyrics

I saw a cloud
it looked like you
I sat and watched
all afternoon
until the wind took you away
across the city

I caught a plane
as soon as I could
I chased your cloud
around the world
until at last you stopped in Prague
in the Czech Republic

The city shone
the moon was bright
and then your cloud
flew out of sight
so I took a train and followed you west
straight through to Paris

Right when I
got off the train
my weary eyes
were filled with rain
and I couldn't see just where the rain
was falling from

I asked around
no one had seen
this cloud that I
was following
the rain stopped, the sky was clear
and I walked downtown

The sun rose
that early hour
I ventured up
the Eiffel Tower
and I looked for you every direction
all morning long

and I saw a cloud
it looked like you
I sat and watched
all afternoon
until the wind took you away
across the city
