Above The Clouds Lyrics

Autumn blew its leaves at me,
Threatening winder as I walked,
Summer always goes so quick,
Barely stopping like like my thoughts,
Which dip and spin and change so fast,
I have to wonder, will I last?

Through the window of a train,
I caught reflections of a paper cup,
Hanging small in a pale blue sky,
Never knowing which way's up.
Above the clouds, what's to be found?
I have to wonder, will I be around?

As my anger shouts - at my own self doubt.
So as sadness creeps - into my dreams,
When you're scared of living - but afraid to die,
I get scared of giving and I must find the faith to beat it.

It must be me that's rushing by,
Times just lingers on the wind,
Bristling through my open fears,
I wonder what it's going to bring.
Above the clouds, what's to be found?
I have to wonder, will I be around?

Run and hide, run and hide,
I catch the sail at evening's tide.

Cover art for Above The Clouds lyrics by Paul Weller

Think it's simply about being inquisitive and unsure of your future. Wondering what's 'above the clouds' is like thinking about what will happen if you aim higher.

One of my favourite Weller solo tracks. Perfect for a summer afternoon.
