Lyrics

I wish I could ride on the shadows of clouds
That drift across the hill
Over the meadow and out of sight
They sweep so smooth and still
Over the daisy field they passed
And not a daisy stirr’d
They moved like chariots grand and slow
But never a sound was heard

I wish I could ride on the shadows of clouds
Could ride till, the journey done
I’d find myself at the end of the world
Where the earth and the sky are one
