Loneliness
English source:
Jeremy Sams
A calm and perfect morning
A clear unruffled sky
Then suddenly, from nowhere
A cloud comes drifting by
That’s how I make my journey
Alone and free and proud
The sky is blue and spotless
And I’m the passing cloud
How dare the sun be shining ?
How dare the sky be clear?
When all the storms were raging
I felt less torment, less pain in here
How dare the sun be shining ?
How dare the sky be clear?
When all the storms were raging
I felt less torment, less pain in here
A clear unruffled sky
Then suddenly, from nowhere
A cloud comes drifting by
That’s how I make my journey
Alone and free and proud
The sky is blue and spotless
And I’m the passing cloud
How dare the sun be shining ?
How dare the sky be clear?
When all the storms were raging
I felt less torment, less pain in here
How dare the sun be shining ?
How dare the sky be clear?
When all the storms were raging
I felt less torment, less pain in here
