Big White Cloud Lyrics by John Cale

Vintage Violence

1970

[Verse 1]
When I stand, my back to the sea
A big white cloud looking right down at me
The sound of the sun piercing my eyes
Everything's clear, everything's bright

[Chorus 1]
Big white cloud, big white cloud
Big white cloud on me
Big white cloud, big white cloud
Big white cloud on me

[Verse 2]
Time to kill on a hill
Looking at leaves licking the trees
Looking for signs, wind and the rain

[Chorus 2]
Oh I love it, yes I love it
Oh I love it so
Oh I love it, yes I love it
Oh I love it so

[Verse 3]
After all is said and done
Everything is just like it began
Days that came, years again
Came and went once again

[Chorus 2]
Oh I love it, yes I love it
Oh I love it so
Oh I love it, yes I love it
Oh I love it so
Oh I love it, yes I love it
Oh I love it so
