Little Cloud Lyrics


Incredible String Band Little Cloud

How sweet to be a cloud
Floating in the [Incomprehensible]

Lying awake, late the other night
I heard above me a trembling
I looked up, it was a little cloud
From which a gold string was dangling

You know, I gave the string a little pull
Just to see what was on the other end
Just then a voice came down to me and says
"Hey, now, don't you want to be my friend"

And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair

You see I'm just a happy little cloud
I laugh and the float and the sing my song
But the other clouds don't like me none
They say, I am behaving so very wrong

You see a cloud's supposed to be sad
To cry and weep and tear its hair and all
And don't matter how hard I try
I can't get the first little tear to fall

Oh float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair

I said, "Hey, I like you little cloud
You are a nice little fellow, yes"
"You making some, kind of a joke?", said the cloud
"Now can't you see I'm wearing such a pretty dress?

You see I am the prettiest little chick cloud
That you'd find anywhere up above
I just dropped in on you awhile
To see if you could give me some kind of love

And float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair

Just then the chief cloud come into view
And says, "Hey, girl, now what you think you're doing there?
I told you so many times before
You just don't seem at all to care

You know you should be floating up above
Now don't let me catch you down here again
And as my cloud rolled out of view
There come falling down a gentle shower of rain

Happy rain come falling down
Red, green, blue and golden
And every drop, as it fell, it smiled
And, throwing back its head, began singing

Oh, float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair
