Clouds We Ride
Riding Clouds: Embracing Wildness and Goodbyes
Lyrics
Do you believe that prayer can heal?
Questioning belief in the healing power of prayer.
If so, lay one on me
Requesting a prayer to be offered.
Soft and sweet
Describing the desired prayer as soft and sweet.
Oh, please dig deep
Asking for a deep and sincere prayer.
Into your heart, pray my soul to keep
Invoking a prayer for the speaker's soul.
'Cause I've got wildness on my mind
Expressing a preoccupation with wild thoughts.
I've got the itch, I've got the pinwheel eyes
Conveying restlessness with pinwheel eyes and an itch.
Every time I see your smile
Noting the impact of a smile on the speaker's heart.
My heart's so full… my heart's so full of crime
Acknowledging conflicting emotions of fullness and crime.
And on these clouds we ride
Referring to a shared experience of riding on clouds.
As our blood beats with the ocean tide
Connecting the ride with the synchronization of blood and ocean tide.
I've been waiting all my life to say
Expressing a prolonged wait to say goodbye to illusions.
Goodbye, bye, bye
Repeating a farewell expression with emphasis.
To the illusion of our precious lives
Rejecting the illusionary nature of precious lives.
And on these clouds we ride
Reiterating the theme of riding on clouds.
And they say young is just a state of mind
Challenging the concept that youth is merely a state of mind.
They say you only need what you can find
Emphasizing the value of what can be found.
In plain sight, relinquish our desires
Suggesting the relinquishment of desires in plain sight.
But I reserve my right
Asserting the speaker's right to follow a chosen path.
To follow you until the end of time
Committing to follow a significant other indefinitely.
Where on these clouds we ride
Reiterating the cloud-riding experience.
As our blood beats with the ocean tide
Echoing the synchronization of blood with the ocean tide.
I've been waiting all my life to say
Expressing a prolonged wait for a significant goodbye.
Goodbye, bye, bye
Repeating the farewell expression with emphasis.
To the illusion of our precious lives
Reiterating the rejection of illusions in precious lives.
To the illusion of our precious lives
Repeating the rejection of illusions for emphasis.
On these clouds we ride on, on these
Continuing the theme of riding on clouds.
On these clouds we ride on, on these
Repeating the continuation of the cloud-riding experience.
On these clouds we ride on, on these
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of cloud riding.
On these clouds we ride on
Reiterating the continuous experience of riding on clouds.
On these clouds we ride
Repeating the description of cloud riding.
As our blood beats with the ocean tide
Reiterating the synchronization of blood with the ocean tide.
I've been waiting all my life to say
Repeating the prolonged wait for a significant goodbye.
Goodbye, bye, bye
Repeating the farewell expression with emphasis.
