about

It didn't end well, but I shook the clouds away.

lyrics

Friday night at 3 a.m., I’m driving by your house again.
I wonder where you are tonight, blinded by your bedroom light.
I act like such a stupid fool, you don’t need to tell me so.

When I shake the clouds from my sky,
when the wind changes direction.
When a flower grows in the mud,
might that alter your perception?

The walls round here are closing in, the places we have never been
collect on maps that overflow, foreign cities all aglow.
My suitcase and my overcoat are haunted by the words that you wrote.

When I shake the clouds from my sky,
when the wind changes direction.
When a flower grows in the mud,
might that alter your perception?

You block my calls mechanically, what else can you do to me?
My dog is barking at the door, what could he be barking for?
The forecast calls for heavy rain, my hopes are going down the drain.

When I shake the clouds from my sky,
when the wind changes direction.
When a flower grows in the mud,
might that alter your perception?

He lived in Venezuela as a teen where he became infused with Magic Realism, which has served him well. Jeff now lives in San Francisco where he dreams of pop stardom and putting his daughter through college. Lots to think about. ... more
