A Great Cloud Songtext
von Empty Atlas

I′d like to learn how to walk without this crutch
Every great man has his vices, but I feel that mine is too much
I hardly noticed that she kept my foolish hands tied
She cut my hair like Delilah, while I saw the sweeter side

But I notice right now, that she was the easy way out
Overhead stands a great cloud of witnesses stating their doubts
I don't owe them anything, but all that disdain makes my ears ring
I′m starting to think that somehow,
Most of me can't keep from wondering


I'd like to learn how to speak without honesty
If I form the words in my throat,
Then they keep marching on without me
I′ll be honest, if I chose to compare this girl to a summer′s day
You'd see she′s colder than winter, so sunlight won't stand in her way

But I notice right now, that she was the easy way out
Overhead stands a great cloud, of witnesses stating their doubts
I don′t owe them anything, but all that disdain makes my ears ring
I'm starting to think that somehow,
Most of me can′t keep from wondering

I'll keep a light on and make sure you drive home safely
After all that we've been through,
I won′t be so shocked if you hate me
If I could just borrow a minute, I could make you see
That maybe I did you a favor, made room for good company
