Name In The Clouds

Intro

Ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

I climbed the cold cathedral stair

to carve a syllable in stone

where pigeons scatter at my prayer

and winter finds me here alone

Pre-Chorus

The bells divide the heavy air

the rafters answer low

I write your name with steady care

Chorus

Name in the clouds

I send it high

Name in the clouds

where thunder dies

I lift it up

I let it fall

your name above

above it all

Post-Chorus

Ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

The sexton asked me what I sought

I told him nothing he could hold

a word my father never taught

a story that was never told

Pre-Chorus

The candles lean and gutter low

the plaster saints go blind

I trace the letters as they glow

Chorus

Name in the clouds

I send it high

Name in the clouds

where thunder dies

I lift it up

I let it fall

your name above

above it all

Bridge

Take the weather take the years

Take the salt of all my tears

Take the harvest take the frost

Nothing given nothing lost

Breakdown

Ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh

Chorus

Name in the clouds

I send it high

Name in the clouds

where thunder dies

I lift it up

I let it fall

your name above

above it all

Post-Chorus

Ah-ah-ah

Oh-oh-oh
