Above The Clouds

Paul Weller · Days Of Speed [2002]

Autumn blew its leaves at me,

Threatening winter as I walked.

Summer always goes so quick, Barely stopping like my thoughts.

Which dip and spin and change so fast

I have to wonder - Will I last.



Through the windows of the train,

I caught reflections of a paper cup,

Hanging small in a pale blue sky,

Never knowing which way's up.



Above the clouds, what's to be found,

I have to wonder - Will I be around.

As my anger shouts - At my own self doubt,

So a madness creeps - Into my dreams

When you're scared of living - But afraid to die

I get scared of giving - And I must find the faith to beat it



I must be me that's rushing by,

Time just lingers on the wind.

Bristlin' through my open fears,

I wonder what it's going to bring.



Above the clouds, what's to be found,

I have to wonder - Will I be around

Run and hide, run and hide

I catch the sail at evening's tide.
