Cloudburst Lyrics
Oasis
Lyrics
Wake up! there's a new day dawning
I think I'll take a little walk for a while
I need shades cos the sun is blinding
And I can see for miles and miles
I can feel the earth beneath me
I lie down, we are as one
And they look but they cannot find me
Coz I'm off heading for the sun
I'm getting colder
I feel a chill in the air
There's a change in the weather
Here it comes again
Now I can feel the rain
The wind that brings on the change
Is taking me over
The wind that brings on the rain
Is making me older
Downtown the moon is shining
I'm gonna dress it up in style
My business everybody's minding
And I need to get away for a while
I'm getting colder
I feel a chill in the air
There's a change in the weather
Here it comes again
Now I can feel the rain
The wind that brings on the change
Is taking me over
The wind that brings on the rain
Is making me older
