Lyrics

Clouds
Different shapes and sizes
Hiding the horizon
Clouds
In the distance
Coming to change my plans
All my dreams will melt like sand
Clouds
The moment that you say goodbye
They're gonna rush right to the sky
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Baby, baby, don't go
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Baby, baby, please don't go
It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain (Rain)
It's gonna rain down tears
Heartaches and fears
It's gonna rain (Gonna rain)
Going to rain (Rain)
I know for sure
'Cause you don't reach for me no more
It's gonna rain (Rain)
It's gonna rain (Rain)
Gonna rain down tears
Heartaches and fears
It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain (Rain)
There in the distance
Is that number one pain
Clouds
Thunder is the warning
So dark and so alarming
Clouds
Putting doubts in my mind
Are you acting to be kind?
Clouds
Go away, go away
Don't take away my sunny days
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Baby, baby, please don't go
It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
Gonna rain (Rain)
Rain down tears
Heartaches and fears
It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
Going to rain (Rain)
I know for sure
'Cause you don't reach for me no more
It's gonna rain (Rain)
It's gonna rain (Rain)
Rain down tears
Heartaches and fears
It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
Gonna rain (Rain)
There in the distance
Is that number one pain
Leave me be, getting so dark out
Leave me be, getting so dark out
Leave me be, leave me be, leave me be
Leave me be, getting so dark out
Leave me be, getting so dark out
Leave me be, leave me be, leave, leave, leave me be
Leave me be, getting so dark out
Leave me be, getting so dark out
Leave me be, leave me be
Clouds
Leave me be, getting so dark out
I just can't see
Clouds, go away, go away
Don't take away my sunny day
Sunny day, no, no, no
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Baby, baby, please don't go
Gonna rain (Gonna rain)
Gonna rain (Gonna rain)
Rain down tears
Heartaches and fears
It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
Gonna rain (Rain)
Oh yeah, yeah, baby, baby, baby
Gonna rain (Gonna rain)
Rain (Rain)
I don't want you to go
I don't want you to go, yeah
(Gonna rain, rain)
Rain, yeah (Rain)
Oh, rain (Rain)
Rain down tears
Heartaches and fears, yeah
(Gonna rain, rain)
I know for sure
You don't reach for me no more
(Gonna rain) Gonna rain, yeah
(Rain)
