Lyrics Clocks and clouds Dave Stewart

Clocks and clouds

Past the Northern LightsAnd flying on through polar nights
The pressure's growing overhead
In a month of Sundays you won't find a sunbeam
Clocks and clouds say rainy times ahead From the Northern shores
And down the starlit corridors
The clouds are gathering again
I can feel the weather-clockshumming in their cases
Soon we'll have to shelter from the rain Grey skies, magnetized
My how time flies
Seeing stars ionized
My how time slips away... Now then Sun, what's your problem?
Rise and shine
There are butterflies to chase
And shadows to define
On a day like this there's no point in starting lateYou've got atmospheres to warm
Equators to equate
Come on then, hurry upYou're obviously bright enough
To know that you're only wasting time From the Northern shores
And down the starlit corridors
The clouds are gathering again
So in stormy times I'll open my umbrella
Clocks and clouds make raining times again The storm is gone
The clouds have vanished from the sky
The sound of thunder fades away
And the weather-clocks are ticking rather slowly
Measuring the last part of the day...
