lyrics

Tell me about the clouds
Everything I oughta know
Cause when the birds begin their song
I'll be on my way back home

But winter came, as it always does
Such a shame for all her colours to run

(Chorus)
I've been everywhere man
But I've yet to find
Those golden eyes that are always on my mind
I've been around round round
But ain't it all just smoke & mirrors

I walked across the valley
Sat beneath a tall oak tree
Miles of shade
And a song inside my head
Painted your picture oh so peacefully

See the sun speak through her golden eyes
But the season it grew weary
And that gold was left behind

(Chorus)

I hate to break it to you woman
It's been a hell of a ride
It's like lightning in a bottle
Can't get you outta my mind

(Chorus)

Tell me about the clouds
Everything i oughta know
Now the birds have sung their song
I'm on my way back home
