Letra Marvelous clouds Aaron Freeman

Marvelous clouds

I'm the son of the wild swan of Flanders

Who sail on the river of dreams

My mother the swan has left me and gone

My home's the banks of the stream

In the marvelous clouds sail by, marvelous clouds

Aloft in the soft, summer sky, marvelous clouds

I've seen all the lovers and always

I've heard every promise at dawn

I spent too much time just standing in line

To be told I shouldn't belong

And the marvelous clouds sail by, marvelous clouds

Aloft in the soft, summer sky, marvelous clouds

I've looked in the eyes of your heroes

As they sailed from far, distant lands

The mud on their uniforms, mud on their boots

Blood on their faces and hands

In the marvelous clouds sail by, marvelous clouds

Aloft in the soft, summer sky, marvelous clouds

My father, the king of the mountain

Looks down and watches his child

Come home, says he, if you hate what you see

You're young and the country is wild

But I'll stay and I'll wait for the canons

And the drums to stop drumming my ears

Is it too late, mankind, if you run out of time

It's a matter of days or just years

In the marvelous clouds sail by, marvelous clouds

Aloft in the soft, summer sky, marvelous clouds

Marvelous clouds, marvelous clouds
