Tori Amos
She leaves him on the border at Laredo and “Your Cloud” finds her travelling alone up the Mississippi to Memphis. From there she travels on to a place where thousands of Cherokees died.
She’s thinking about the idea of segregation and people separating themselves from the land. Everybody has a body...
[Verse 1]
Where the river cross, crosses the lake
Where the words jump off my pen and into your pages
Do you think, just like that, you can divide this?
You as yours, me as mine, to before we were us
[Pre-Chorus]
If the rain has to separate
From itself, does it say
"Pick out your cloud?"
Pick out your cloud
[Chorus]
If there is a horizontal line
Stay right here
That runs from the map of your body
I'm gonna stay with you
Straight through the land, shooting up
Stay right here
Right through my heart
Will this horizontal line
I'm gonna stay with you
When asked, know how to find
I'm gonna stay right here
Where you end, where I begin
Pick out your cloud
[Verse 2]
How light can play and form a ring
I found, I found, I found a thrill
Of rain that can change bows into arrows?
I found, I found, I found a thrill
Who we were, isn't lost before we were us
Indigo is his own, blue always knew this
[Pre-Chorus]
If the rain has to separate
From itself, does it say
"Pick out your cloud?"
Pick out your cloud
[Chorus]
If there is a horizontal line
Stay right here
That runs from the map of your body
I'm gonna stay with you
Straight through the land, shooting up
Stay right here
Right through my heart
Will this horizontal line
I'm gonna stay with you
When asked, know how to find
I'm gonna stay right here
Where you end, where I begin
Pick out your cloud
[Outro]
If the rain has to separate
From itself, does it say
"Pick out your cloud?"
