Then came the clouds
They were more like the shrouds
Just like hostile crowds
That came much too near,

Well wasn’t it grand?
Waving me away with your hand
Things got so bleak
It was just like desert sand,

The pain of life was just so unplanned
Then came the clouds
They were more like the shrouds
Just like hostile crowds,

They came much too near
Pardon me my dear,

Wasn’t it a charade?
As if arranged for and paid
Digging my grave with a spade
Guess I didn’t make the grade,

All those disappointments that piled up anyway,
Felt like a spear in my chest when I was betrayed
Our very own little soiree
Seems like the clouds are here to stay,

They’re never far away,
Just like love that goes astray
They came much too near
Pardon me my Dear,

Well wasn’t it a comical parade
The rain decided to stay
It was funny how soaked we got anyway
The clouds were like shrouds,

They came much too near
Pardon me my Dear.
