Cloud Shadow 36
But Alas! the little bitty
divinely pretty
wisp o'
mist out yonder ~
Does
not
wan-
der ~
Like
other
clouds
would
do ~
Across
Deep Desert's
crown
of High Noon blue ~
This wisp o' mist
don't
go
anywhere ~
It just
stays
right
there ~
Getting pret-
tier and prettier
as
I stare ~
In fact, now its be-
yond pretty
with some-
thing more to share ~
Some-
thing
more than just
mist and air ~
Some-
thing
more that inspires
a thank you prayer...
Cloud Shadow 37
It's so beyond
pretty
it
seems to burst ~
With more
much more
than
a cure for thirst ~
In fact, it's spewing
butterflies all
over
the sky ~
Butterflies beaut-
iful
humble
and shy ~
Flutter-
ing low
and
fluttering high ~
All over
'dis
Deep
Desert sky...
Cloud Shadow 38
Little Cloud
a-rumble
n'
a-tumble ~
So clean
n' pristine
n' yet
so humble ~
With
a
purple
heart ~
That bit by bit
flies
a-
part ~
Twirls and
whirls
in
a whirlwind ~
Out yonder
before
my meaning-
less grin ~
Little Cloud
has
begun
to grow ~
Halo-ed in a
bright
white
glow ~
Twirls
n'
whirls
taller n' taller ~
As the timeless silence
all around
doth
holler ~
With
a
voice
of its own ~
That
has
al-
so grown ~
A singing
in
the
breeze ~
That knocks me
to
my
knees ~
Upon the crispy
deck
of
my toasted ship ~
As my sight
doth
timidly
sip ~
At this vision
be-
fore
me ~
Of Little Cloud
towering
graceful
yet stormy ~
Miles
n'
miles
hiiiiiiigh ~
Up
in-
to 'dee
Deep Desert Skyyyyyyy!
Cloud Shadow 39
And
at
the
foot of this ~
Swirling
tower
o'
mist ~
Fluffy white clouds
across
the
horizon spill ~
To the east
to the west
over my head
with a chill ~
'Cuz they turn in-
to bright
pure white
galloping buffaloes ~
And Thee Eyes of
each and every one of
'em
glows ~
Like
little
red
suns ~
Shooting bullets
of fire
as if they are
really gattling guns ~
And their hooves
sharp as razors
these
glow too ~
But
they're
silver
n' blue ~
And if you're not
careful
they
might cut youuuuuuu ~
Like something
that is
that is
real n' truuuuuuue ~
Across
Deep
Desert
blue ~
Buf-
faloes
of
Virtue!
