I've been walking on the soft sand
Since this morning when the sky was clear
With my paintbox in one hand
Remember last time when you were here

See the clouds come
Unfold the blank white sheet over me
Come cover me, consume me
Oh-oh what are we to do?

You know that I love you
I don't want to lose you
Sometimes I just feel suffocated
I can feel when the clouds come
I can feel when the clouds come

I painted a picture
Stepped back to see
Saw you in a new light
How wrong could I be?

See the clouds come oh-oh
See the clouds come

I've been walking and it feels like hours
I've got ear ache from the winter wind
From high up on the most Northern point
You said you'd tell me everything – everything

I painted a picture
Stepped back to see
Saw you in a new light
How wrong could I be?

See the clouds come, oh-oh
Unfold the blank white sheet over me
Come cover me, consume me
Oh-oh what are we to do?

I've been crying through the seagulls
And I've been swept up on the shoreline
Feeling bleak as the white sky
And I'm cold, I'm cold, cold and I'm going home

See the clouds come oh-oh
See the clouds come

Come cover me, come cover me
Come cover me yeah, come cover me
