Clouds Over Eden
(Richard Barone & George Usher)

Tears and laughter
break the silence
everywhere I go
These days of wine and roses
keep rolling on
rolling on

I can’t turn away
I look and all I ever find
are pieces of a puzzle—
and no one seems to mind

Clouds over Eden
and waiting for the rain
with so much to be lost
and nothing much to gain

Clouds over Eden
and the only light that’s near
is far away from here
far away from here.

Everywhere I see
a trace of what’s been left behind
fading into darkness—
and no one seems to mind.

Clouds over Eden
and waiting for the rain
with so much to be lost
and nothing much to gain

Clouds over Eden
and the only light that’s near
is far away from here
far away from here.
