Marvelous Clouds Lyrics - Marvelous Clouds - Aaron Freeman

I'm the son of the wild swan of Flanders 

Who sail on the river of dreams 

My mother the swan has left me and gone 

My home's the banks of the stream 

In the marvelous clouds sail by, marvelous clouds 

Aloft in the soft, summer sky, marvelous clouds 

I've seen all the lovers and always 

I've heard every promise at dawn 

I spent too much time just standing in line 

To be told I shouldn't belong 

And the marvelous clouds sail by, marvelous clouds 

Aloft in the soft, summer sky, marvelous clouds 

I've looked in the eyes of your heroes 

As they sailed from far, distant lands 

The mud on their uniforms, mud on their boots 

Blood on their faces and hands 

In the marvelous clouds sail by, marvelous clouds 

Aloft in the soft, summer sky, marvelous clouds 

My father, the king of the mountain 

Looks down and watches his child 

Come home, says he, if you hate what you see 

You're young and the country is wild 

But I'll stay and I'll wait for the canons 

And the drums to stop drumming my ears 

Is it too late, mankind, if you run out of time 

It's a matter of days or just years 

In the marvelous clouds sail by, marvelous clouds 

Aloft in the soft, summer sky, marvelous clouds 

Marvelous clouds, marvelous clouds
