Beautiful Cloudy Day

July skies ride on humid highs
Rain is in the air
Like butterflies, time flutters by
I wish you were here
Dusty, green summer valleys seem to wait for the rain
Shadows slide under cloudy skies
My mind flies home again
And thunder rolls like hills below
With mallets on anvils of fleece
And tucked under covers by sweet nature's mother
The sun pretends to sleep

On a beautiful cloudy day
When the summertime showers are beckoned this way
On a beautiful cloudy day
Remember the wishes, recall the ways
On a beautiful cloudy day

Off in the distance, the cause meets resistance
And the clash is felt in the wind
Oh, the hill country sky breathes a still, sultry sigh
And a child wanders homeward again

Wind blown, the leaves in the breeze have flown far
Since their first glimpse of light
When suntanned and barefoot the days began
Warm 'neath a morning sky
And you and I were eye to eye
And wrestled in the sun
With Koolaide moustaches and knees behind patches
All the things we done

On a beautiful cloudy day
When the summertime showers are destined to stay
On a beautiful cloudy day
Remember the wishes and recall the ways
On a beautiful cloudy day

When you and I were eye to eye
And wrestled in the sun
With Koolaide moustaches and knees behind patches
All the things we done

On a beautiful cloudy day
On a beautiful cloudy day
Remember the wishes, recall the ways
On a beautiful cloudy day
Remember the wishes, recall the ways
On a beautiful cloudy day
