Vision in the clouds

The cloud that's hanging over us
is not some sacred destiny
the wild wind blows it far away
making room for better days

I left my home so hurriedly
followed my fate so carelessly
or so I thought but I was wrong
pain is short and joy is long

      A vison in the clouds
      you sing and you shout
      the joy of life
      the end of strife
      a vision in the clouds
      is what it's all about

The mermaids singing from the shore
would promise love and lust and more
I listened long and heard the sound
of countless ships going to ground

A sailor smiled into the sun
and threw away his useless gun
the albatross hung from his neck
but he was dancing on the deck

      refr.
