Cloudy Sky
Love's Whims in Nature's Symphony
Lyrics
The Moon she is a pretty girl who lives up in the stars
The Moon is personified as a pretty girl residing in the stars.
And that old cloud he's a great old man who loves her from afar
The Cloud, personified as an old man, admires and loves the Moon from a distance.
He loves her from afar
Reiteration of the Cloud's love for the Moon from a distance.
When Lady Moon smiles down on him ol' Cloud is all a-wonder
When the Moon smiles at the Cloud, he becomes enchanted or captivated.
So he starts to sing to her and that's what makes the thunder
The Cloud sings to the Moon, and this singing is metaphorically linked to the creation of thunder.
Can't ya listen baby that's what makes the thunder
Encouraging the listener to pay attention, implying that the thunder is a result of the Cloud's singing.
Love is just a cloudy sky as far as I can see
Love is described as a cloudy sky, suggesting uncertainty or ambiguity.
And that ol' cloud up in the sky he got much chance in love as me
The Cloud, like the speaker, feels he has little chance in love.
And some dry nights she won't come out when she hears him callin'
The Moon sometimes doesn't appear, and the Cloud expresses sadness when she doesn't respond to his calls.
The tears come streamin' on down his cheeks and that's the rain a fallin'
The Cloud's tears are metaphorically linked to the rain falling when the Moon doesn't appear.
Don't ya feel it baby hat's the rain a fallin'
Encouraging the listener to sense or empathize with the emotional impact of the rain.
Love is just a cloudy sky as far as I can see
Reiteration of love being compared to a cloudy sky with limited clarity.
And that ol' cloud up in the sky's got as much a chance in love as me
The Cloud is emphasized again as having little chance in love, similar to the speaker.
And when the night starts to gettin' light and he can see her goin'
As the night ends, the Cloud can see the Moon departing, and he reacts by sending a symbolic kiss across the sky.
He throws a kiss across the sky and that's the wind a blowin',
The Cloud's kiss is metaphorically associated with the creation of wind.
Can't ya feel it honey that's the wind a blowin'
Encouraging the listener to feel the impact of the wind caused by the Cloud's symbolic kiss.
Oh love is just a cloudy sky as far as I can see
Reiteration that love is perceived as a cloudy and uncertain sky.
And that ol' cloud up in the sky he's got as much a chance as me
Reemphasizing that the Cloud, like the speaker, has limited chances in love.
He got as much a chance as me
Reiteration that the Cloud has as much chance in love as the speaker.
