Black Cloud

from Hair of the Cat by Englewood

lyrics

There’s a black cloud knocking at my door.
There’s a black cloud trying to get in.
There’s a black cloud staring in my window.
There’s a black cloud thinking ‘bout sliding down my chimney.
Oh no, black cloud. Oh no, black cloud.

I got blue sky trying to break through;
I got blue sky kissing off the rain.
I got blue sky where I can fly too.
I got blue sky dusting off my brain cells.
Oh yes, blue sky. Oh no, black cloud.

Don’t want black cloud knocking at my door.
Don’t want black cloud trying to get in.
Don’t want black cloud staring in my window.
Don’t want black cloud thinking ‘bout
sliding down my chimney.
Oh no black cloud. Oh yes blue sky.

I got sunlight sitting on my shoulder;
I got sunlight burning up the sky.
I got sunlight busting up the shadows.
I got sunlight lighting up the buttercup under my
chin. Yes! Sunlight! Oh no black cloud.

Step back black cloud, get away from my door.
Step back black cloud, you’re not getting in.
Step back black cloud, get away from my window.
Step back black cloud, don’t even think about my chimney. Oh no black cloud. Oh yes, sunlight.
