Willie P. Bennett - Storm Clouds lyrics

Water was dodging rocks in the stream bed the wind was rising up slow getting ready to bend the trees at the end of the road where the storm clouds were growing We stood there and watched and waited for the rain the dust swirling round people running in vain and the thunder rolling in like a midnight train I said the stars' eyes tonight won't be opening not while these storm clouds are growing We were skin popping laughter and feeding our freedom Having the time of our lives getting ready to follow the ways that we'd been before but the people we found could not make a sound it seems that they'd been through that door They said don't be surprised if it disappears 'fore your eyes you know the way waves race the shore once they're there they're not anymore It's not the sound of the rain that makes me feel lonely nor the gray skies that give me the blues it's the weight of some miles and all the useless disguises I've had to sit and watch people use I've had to sit here and watch people use My friends, we don't say much now we just talk about things we have heard wishing for just a little more time and wanting a whole lot more nerve It's not that love is wrong but when your feelings are gone what's left makes you fester inside And I know I've bin seen between my blues and greens but my eyes camouflage what I've tried Ya my eyes camouflage what I've tried It's not the sound of the rain that makes me feel lonely nor the gray sky's that give me the blues it's the weight of some miles and all the useless disguises I've had to sit and watch people use I've had to sit here and watch people use It's not the sound of the rain that makes me feel lonely nor the gray sky's that give me the blues It's the sound of some drunk dreams spit up on the sidewalk and the distance that I feel from you Ya the distance that I feel from you Burning, ... Babe I'm burned
