[Intro: Kate Bush]
We're looking at the...
[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
That cloud, that cloud - it looks like Ireland
C'mon and blow it a kiss now
But quick!
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
'Cause it's changing in the big sky
It's changing in the big sky now
We're looking at the big sky
You never understood me
You never really tried
[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
This cloud, this cloud says "Noah"
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
I'm looking at the big sky
I'm looking at the big sky now
I'm looking at the big sky
Hup! Hup! Big sky, yeah
[Bridge: Dr. Robert Bush, Hannah Bush, John Carder Bush & Paddy Bush]
"That cloud looks just like the tree at the bottom of our garden"
"That cloud looks like a little lamb with a tail"
"That cloud looks Commulus Castellus"
"That cloud is nothing but trouble"
"This cloud looks like hmm... one of those things hmm... you know..."
"That cloud looks like one of those brown shiny things"
"That cloud looks like snow"
"No, it doesn't"
"This cloud looks like rain"
"Order! This cloud should be removed immediately"
"That cloud looks like industrial waste"
[Interlude: Kate Bush]
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
We're looking at the...
We're looking at the...
And we pause for the jet
Hup! Hup!
Hup! In the big sky
We're looking at the big sky, honey
You want my reply?
What was the question, yeah?
I was looking at the big sky
[Outro: Kate Bush]
We're looking at the...
Tell me, sisters...
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Walking out in the big sky

Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Walking out in the big sky
