[Verse 1]
From the red sky of the morning
A cloud fell on a rowan tree
Lingered on its leafy boughs
As I went to stand by its side

[Pre-Chorus]
The cloud it spoke
In words I did not know
Singing songs of distant lands

[Chorus]
I stepped inside
The cloud of mist
Embraced by the misted haze
Listening to the words
The words were strange
I understood the faraway song

[Verse 2]
I paced around the rowan tree
Touching not the misty cloud
That hung from slender branches
And hovered down under the tree

[Bridge]
The cloud it sang to the rowan tree
But when the dawn dispelled the mist
The cloud was nowhere to be seen

[Outro]
Embraced by the misted haze
I understood the faraway song
