On A Cloud

On A Cloud

I went down in the Glen where nobody goes

and walked in the dappled light that glowed

and sat by a rusty river that gently flowed on by ,

For a minute or two I closed my eye

and I fell fast asleep and I dreamt that I

was lifted above so high into the sky  .

Its so sad when the dreams I had

are on a cloud drifting by ,

sometimes I wish that I could fly

high above the angry crowd

and rest upon a purple cloud

and  keep dreaming  on

as the world below goes slowly drifting by     .

I was on a cloud with a friend of mine

where we sang a song and drank some wine

and the stars came out and began to shine so bright .

We had a laugh and we talked a while

and we found the joy in each others

smile that lasted long through the glow of the night   .

The world below seemed so far away

and the night turned into the another day

and the friend I knew had left me and gone away .

Suddenly and there and then

I found that I was back in the Glen

and the dream I had came to an end that day  .

Tread lightly , said William Butler

cause dreams are all I have .

I  said won’t you please tread lightly

your on a cloud

and just let my dreams go past   ,
