Face in the Clouds Songtext
von Bone Poets Orchestra

I, I saw your face in the clouds
I, I saw your face in the clouds
You saw mine

I, I saw your face in the clouds
I, I saw your face in the clouds
You saw mine in the oil streaked drive way
In the tea leaves of your windswept grasses
And the way your skirt rides up your thigh

You, you saw my face in the sea
You, you saw my face in the sea
I saw yours
You, you saw my face in the sea
You, you saw my face in the sea
I saw yours in the gold leaf spinning
In the fish eyed glare of the waters leaping
And the way my shirt falls down my side


Why don′t we ALL lay down on the green grass
Watch the sun paint on our faces
Yeah we should ALL lay down in the green grass
Watch the clouds paint up the sky

You, you saw my face in the sky
You, you saw my face in the sky
I saw yours
You, you saw my face in the sky
You, you saw my face in the sky
I saw yours in the flocked wings dancing
In the dreaming of the blood red poppies
And the way my hand rests on your hip

I, I saw your face in the stars
I, I saw your face in the stars
You saw mine
I, I saw your face in the stars
I, I saw your face in the stars
You saw mine in the dark stone laughing
In the dubious future of the new green reaching
And the way your hair falls past my face


Why don't we ALL lay down on the green grass
Watch the sun paint on our faces
Yeah we should ALL lay down in the green grass
Watch the clouds paint up the sky
