Clouds from Quantum Lyrics by Megan Henwood & Findlay Napier

Clouds

Float across the ocean of air
Look up to Cirrus her locks of white hair
We don’t live beneath it We live within
Watching it endlessly curve/curl in the wind

Mackerel sky, mackerel sky
Never long wet and never long dry
Silver scales, grey mares tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails
Splayed out in the meadow, away from the crowds
Idle and aimless my head in the clouds

Count all the emperors high
Kiwinuka's looming, he sparks as he sighs
Ribbons and steeples, pillars burst through
Daydream in pastels, refresh and renew-

Zepherous paints, she gives them away,
What a beautiful method of wasting the day
Crystals cascading through blankets of blue
The splendour, the rainbow, majestic the view
