Black cloud running through the night, black cloud running high

A farm boy goes to comb his hair, coming to see me now

Have you seen his eyes so grey?

And the scar running down his face

Greetings to you stormy one!

A swan in a rooster's place

Cast out from the lake... La la la la la

Julie Ann said she saw you out with you black shirt tucked in

But then gain you could be hiding out in the old ruins again

Where you'd say "dark's the heart of men..." La la la la

Curtains rustle in the night, house flies gather in a field...

Cast your gaze down old glass eyes, o'er what you see but cannot feel...

Though you're lost now don't despair, 'cus you're never lost to me

There's a place where dark woods meet and one day I'll find you there

Because it's a place we share

Black cloud running through the night, black cloud running high

See him there in my mind's eye - reflected in the sky

One day we'll take flight... La la la la la
