"Faces in the clouds"

Mara Baer & Brian Baer


There are faces in the clouds of disembodied spirits,
Of lions and cats and dogs, that all float above the ground.
And when I'm all alone, just wishing you were by me,
I often see your smile, drifting all around.

There's a castle with proud towers rising, and fields that gleam in the sun,
And with the dark breakers rolling in there’s another ship on the run.
In the air, there's still the freedom, to choose what you will see.
I've searched the clouds for you— have you ever looked for me?

All the castle walls will fall, the ships roll out to sea,
As I watch the scenes unending, your loving face I'll see.
'Cause hopes can last forever, my love for you won't fade,
So now I'll spend time dreaming, to chase my doubts away.

There are elephants, lions and tigers; the dragons like Saint George slew,
And wagon trains, cowboys and Indians; and, if you like, Winnie the Pooh.
In the air, there's still the freedom, to choose what you will see.
I've searched the clouds for you-- have you ever looked for me?
Yes, I've searched clouds for you-- have you ever looked for me?
