Clouds Have Rolled Away

While Steve was busy writing like 1,000 songs in the month of February, I was busy sleeping, well actually dreaming. In early February I woke up 5 consecutive mornings at about 4am with a song in my head. I proceeded to my computer to get at least the main line and melody.

This is one of those songs. I dreamt the chorus and when I woke up I thought the words "the clouds have rolled away" fit.

I love sleeping! Wish it was always this productive.

Eric

PS - I had some fun with the production too. :)

Verse 1:
Oh my eyes have turned to grey
The world’s been on a rain delay
The radio says there’s another storm today
But as of now the clouds have rolled away

Chorus:
The rays are breaking on the scene
The hills are a new shade of green
There’s shelter here if I decide to stay
The news for now looks promising
The weatherman is smiling
Announcing that the clouds have rolled away

Verse 2:
All the sheep have gone astray
There’s nothing left to do but pray
Heaven knows that there just might be hell to pay
But for right now the clouds have rolled away

Chorus 2:
A check was written sight unseen
Accountants are calculating
Expecting another red letter day
Our hero appeared on the screen
Awake the troops with tambourine
This isn’t the same old routine
And in between the clouds have rolled away

Bridge:
Though it’s only just the moment, I will get out and live for it
While I’ve got the strength I’ll run ‘til I’m consumed
Though the road’s not paved with roses, when the thunder storm imposes
I will pause and inhale each and every bloom… Yeah!

End:
The rays are breaking on the scene
The hills are a new shade of green
And for right now the clouds have rolled away
