Little Cloud The Incredible String Band

How sweet to be a cloud, floating in the blue

Lying awake, late the other night
Heard above me a trembling
I looked up, it was a little cloud
From which a gold string was dangling;
You know, I gave the string a little pull
Just to see what was on the other end
Just then a voice came down to me, says
"Hey, now, don't you want to be my friend

And float with me to distant lands
Wondrous and fair;
Float with me to distant lands wondrous and fair?

You see I'm just a happy little cloud
I laugh and float and sing my song
But the other clouds don't like me none
They say I am behaving very wrong
You see a cloud's supposed to be sad
To cry and weep and tear its hair and all
And don't matter how hard I try
I can't get the first little tear to fall."

Oh float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;
Float with me to distant lands, wondrous and fair;
