"Cloud In The Sky" by Jake Bugg follows a love that ends before it ever feels stable, leaving only pleas for one more night and one more call. The beloved becomes a cloud saying goodbye, able to hold back the rain while he cannot stop his own tears. Falling from the stars feels safer than losing her, because at least that pain would be predictable. Cities from London to Berlin keep reopening the wound, and the memory of her drifts in and out of his heart without ever fully leaving his mind.
Cloud In The Sky Lyrics by Jake Bugg
When I met you I thought life was turning a page
I thought I had knew you since the Ice Age
You said you liked my eyes but they had changed
A moment of weakness, an eternity of pain
And your concrete pillow
Hurt’s less then tomorrow
It swallows me up and down below
Give me one more try
One more night
One more call before you say goodnight
There’s a cloud in the sky
And she’s saying goodbye
She holds back the rain
But I can’t do the same
I’d rather fall from the stars than you
At least I know I’d be safe
It’d be easier to take
She’s a cloud in the sky
Who’s saying goodbye
In and out of my heart
And out my mind
From London to Paris and Berlin
Everywhere makes me think of you
And it never stops hurting
A tapestry that reads better than me
She sit’s on the moon with her cup of tea
And numerals I only wish to understand
The art of her washes away in this Wonderland
And right from the start
You captured my heart
You captured it by the bells of Notre Dame
Give me one more try
One more night
One more call before you say goodnight
There’s a cloud in the sky
And she’s saying goodbye
She holds back the rain
But I can’t do the same
I’d rather fall from the stars than you
At least I know I’d be safe
It’d be easier to take
She’s a cloud in the sky
Who’s saying goodbye
In and out of my heart
And out my mind
She’s a cloud in the sky
And she’s saying goodbye
She holds back the rain
But I can’t do the same
I’d rather fall from the stars than you
At least I know I’d be safe
It’d be easier to take
She’s a cloud in the sky
Who’s saying goodbye
In and out of my heart
And out my mind
