Sad Clouds

Soft whispers in the midnight air Shadows linger, but there's no one there The moon hides behind a painted haze Lost in a dream, I'm caught in its maze Broken streets where the echoes fade Chasing shadows that time has made And the rain starts falling, tapping on my skin Every drop a story of where I've been Sad clouds, they hover and sigh Holding the tears I've yet to cry They paint the world in shades of blue Sad clouds, they feel it too Faint laughter in the distant glow Fading embers of a love I know Your voice lingers, a fragile refrain Caught between silence and the falling rain Footsteps vanish where the rivers bend Hoping the night will soon descend And the wind keeps calling, whispering your name Every gust a memory, a flicker of the flame Sad clouds, they hover and sigh Holding the tears I've yet to cry They paint the world in shades of blue Sad clouds, they feel it too Drifting through this endless night Searching for a spark of light But the sky's so heavy, I can't break through The weight of it all, it feels like you Every star hides behind the gray Lost in the dark, I'm slipping away Sad clouds, they hover and sigh Holding the tears I've yet to cry They paint the world in shades of blue Sad clouds, they feel it too
