White cloud in the sky, on this dark November 9
I sing to you from this tiny place and watch you float on by
Without a care in the world, no one turns your path
You're silent when we all are born and silent when we pass
I talked to a girl, whose father was dying
Every word that she spoke were like pieces of iron
Once a man who was strong, now was only relying
Leaving everyone helpless on the verge of crying
Heavy with love, heavy with love
White cloud in the sky, on this dark November 9
Lay your secret on the wind and whisper to my mind
I could shout in joy, I could shout in helpless pain
But they're only ripples in the air
They hit you just the same
I talked to a girl, pregnant but cautious
In a miserable state, it all made her feel nauseous
But when she spoke of her babe
The heavens surrounded, like the language she spoke
Was timeless and bounded
Heavy with love, heavy with love
