I wandered lonely as a cloud
Everywhere around
They were dancing
In the wind with no sound
I was in the middle,
Seeing nothing but yellow
And whispering a riddle
Undisturbed they went on,
Like they didn't notice my presence
As if the sight was never gone
It would never leave my mind
This view with bright colours
It is one of a kind
Here I wandered lonely as a cloud
Through this barrier of nature
There was totally no doubt
It secluded me from the other world
Which I so deeply loath
Now seeing a kind of dream-world
All those flowers not knowing
What was on the other side
All those people bellowing
Always noise and sound
However, here ever so quiet
As if being underground
Still are they dancing with their leaves
Shinning brightly in the sun
Stealing all beauty like thieves
Here I wandered lonely as a cloud
Feeling joy and hope spread through me
I nearly wanted to shout it entirely out
But then it would break the charm
With is air full of magic
I didn't want it to harm
Each and every flowers waltzing
Through thunder and rain
Every wrong thought went freezing
Looking in some kind of yellow blaze
Burning here in the field all-around
With an unnatural sort of grace
Forgetting everything supposed to be done
Just sitting doing nothing at all
Nevertheless time kept ticking on
Here I wandered lonely as a cloud
Yet I had to go away from here
This was what it was all about
