A world away, one summer’s day,
I lie down on the grass,
And, with each eye aimed at the sky,
I watch the clouds that pass.
They seem to me to be so free
I just can’t help but smile.
The wind’s that strong, before too long,
They’ve gone a country mile.
Before they do go out of view,
I make out many shapes –
A pair of flies, a girl who sighs
And, there! A bunch of grapes!
And, lying there, I say a prayer
To be allowed to be a cloud.
