It's cloudy in here...I can hardly see you I form my eyes in a squint…hoping for clarity But it’s too cloudy and I just can’t see you Maybe if I got really low…almost to the ground Maybe then your eyes could meet mine So now I’m down here, way beneath where I should be But just more clouds and fog…and I still can’t see you Perhaps if I climb higher, maybe it will be clearer up there So I climb and I climb, but to no avail The clouds are gone, but you are so far away it hurts my eyes I want so desperately to see you…it makes my head ache Tell me what I should do…how can I see you? As you shout to me directions, your words become garbled Here comes that headache again…I can’t understand a word I quickly clean my ears, thinking…maybe it’s me I ask you to repeat, but all I hear is thunder I can’t see you…I can’t hear you The cloud’s so gray, the fog so thick and the thunder so loud Maybe if I close my eyes and reach for you I could touch you So I close my eyes and trust in my heart and reach… I’m reaching…I can’t feel you take my hand I cannot see you or hear you or feel you And I so badly want to I feel defeated…so I open my eyes I see clear skies I still don’t see you
