Cloud Three

CLOUD THREE

C. 2024 Tom Higgins

V1:

Cloud One was fun with those rushes of hormones and novelty

Cloud Two, met you; interest grew in having a family

Cloud Three, little feet got big and then made lives of their own

Cloud Four, well, I’d rather ignore, the clocks that are ticking…ticking

Chorus:

Cloud three is where I want to stay forever

The climate’s changing but I like the weather

I’m content that love is sufficient treasure

So for now, I’m happily ensconced on Cloud Three

Brief instrumental

V2:

I don’t need to live in the clouds between five and nine

They might be nice to visit once or twice but you can’t live there

Cloud three – from here you can see the fire, but won’t get burned

It’s for me – might not be for you, we all seek our own levels

>CHORUS

[it’s a place we can all live together; once you find love, you have found your treasure – and can happily look down - from Cloud Three]]

Instrumental verse

V3:

Someone catalogued clouds many years ago as one thru nine

And then Hollywood spread the myth that nine’s the most of the most

Well that may be true; but enough is enough at a certain point

If you’re surfing the sun, better hope that you don’t get too close

CHORUS:

Cloud Three is where I want to stay forever

The climate’s changing but I like the weather

I’m content that love is sufficient treasure

So for now, I’m happy on Cloud Three

Cloud 3 – - - It’s where I’ve found my groove

Cloud 3 – it doesn’t matter if you approve

Once you’ve found love, you have found your treasure

And can happily look down – from Cloud Three

You can reach for the stars, or stay in the bars but neither one is right for me

Cloud three – it’s out there, but not too far to see

Above it all – the problems are small when looking down from the sky
