Well I'm taking some time with my quiet friend
   Well I'm takin' some time on my own.
   Well I'm makin' some plans for my getaway
   There'll be blue skies shining up above
   When I'm cloud hidden
   Cloud hidden
   Whereabouts unknown
  
   Well I've got to get out of the rat-race now
   I'm tired of the ways of mice and men
   And the empires all turning into rust again.
   Out of everything nothing remains the same
   That's why I'm cloud hidden
   Cloud hidden
   Whereabouts unknown
  
   Bridge
   Sittin' up on the mountain-top in my solitude
   Where the morning fog comes rollin' in
   Just might do me some good.
  
   Well I'm waiting in the clearing with my motor on
   Well it's time to get back to the town again
   Where the air is sweet and fresh in the countryside
   Well it won't be long before I get back here again.
