Cécile McLorin Salvant – Thunderclouds Lyrics

 

Thunderclouds Lyrics by Cécile McLorin Salvant

 

Lay your burden down
Look to the sky, it is raining
Open your mouth and swallow the sun
Shrouded in clouds, like my love for you
Shrouded in thunder clouds, like my dreams

Sometimes you have to gaze into a well to see the sky
Sometimes you have to gaze into a well to see the sky
Sometimes you have to gaze into a well to see the sky
Sometimes you have to gaze into a well to see the sky

You’ve been through the mud
Well, muddle through, that is all you can do
When you’ve lost everything
But your sense of human
It is shrouded in thunder clouds, like my dreams
Shrouded in clouds like my love for you
Shrouded in thunder clouds, like my dreams
Seem to good to be true

L’insomnie, en son début
Est presque une oasis
Où se réfugient, ceux qui ont à penser
Ou à souffrir ombrageusement
