Clouds
One Leg Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clouds are feathers from a lady's fan
Do you remember how we watched them drifting by
Long ago when love began
Clouds floating thru the night
While the silver stars above
Lend their tender light
While I wonder why my love ever said goodbye
The night was young
The breeze was warm and tender
A fool was I but how was I to know
I gladly gave my heart in sweet surrender
To learn that love was meant to come and go
Like snowhite clouds floating through the night
Speaking of a love that was heavenly
A love that could never be mine
Once we were together and now we're apart
Did you find it easy to forget?
I keep on dreaming while the years go drifting by
Calling you my "Sweet Regret"
Clouds floating thru the night
While the silver stars above
Lend their tender light
Clouds drifting thru the sky
While I wonder why my love ever said goodbye
The night was young
The breeze was warm and tender
A fool was I but how was I to know
I gladly gave my heart in sweet surrender
To learn that love was meant to come and go
Like snowhite Clouds Floating thru the night
Speaking of a love that was heavenly
A love that could never be mine
The lyrics to "Clouds" by One Leg Up are a nostalgic reflection on a past relationship. The opening lines describe clouds as being "only dewdrops that once kissed a rose" and "feathers from a lady's fan", suggesting a sense of fragility and transience. The chorus then repeats the image of clouds drifting through the sky, with the singer wondering why their love ever said goodbye. The second verse describes a night that seemed perfect, with a warm breeze and a feeling of surrender to love, only to end with the realization that love can be fleeting like the clouds in the sky.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing, regret, and sadness for what was lost. The haunting melody, combined with the understated instrumentation, creates an introspective mood that matches the reflective lyrics. The singer seems to be searching for answers as to why their love ended and why they were unable to hold onto it.
Overall, "Clouds" is a beautifully written and performed song that captures the bittersweet nature of love and its ability to both uplift and disappoint. It reminds us that even though certain moments may seem perfect, they are often fleeting and that we must cherish them while we can.
