“Cloudy” was jointly written by Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley of The Seekers (who later re-recorded it for their 1967 album Seekers Seen in Green).
The song is whimsical and laconic, reflecting the lyrics, which concern the narrator’s thoughts while watching the clouds move across the sky.
[Verse 1]
Cloudy
The sky is gray and white and cloudy
Sometimes I think it's hanging down on me
And it's a hitchhike a hundred miles
I'm a ragamuffin child
Pointed finger painted smile
I left my shadow waiting down the road for me a while
[Verse 2]
Cloudy
My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy
They have no borders, no boundaries
They echo and they swell
From Tolstoy to Tinker Bell
Down from Berkeley to Carmel
Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill
[Verse 3]
Hey, sunshine
I haven't seen you in a long time
Why don't you show your face and bend my mind?
These clouds stick to the sky
Like a floating question, why?
And they linger there to die
They don't know where they are going, and, my friend, neither do I
[Outro]
