Stormwolke
Is jy skuldig aan weemoed en is daai ‘n traan
Wat oor jou wang loop daar waar jy staan
Is jou hart ge-hijack sonder of met geweld
Geweldadig bestorm sonder om te vergeld
Is jy moeggeloop aan die pad wat nêrens gaan nie
En is jy swaargedra aan die goed wat jou voete swaarmaak
Beurend voerentoe sonder ‘n plan
Sonder ‘n plan wat jou kan lei
En gee my stormwolke, net voor jy slaap
Stormwolke elke aand
Stormwolke, stormwolke
Slaap jy saggies met die wete dat alles tot ‘n einde kom
Slaap jy rustig as jy weet dat alles vergaan
En ons tyd hier bloot geleende tyd is
Geleende tyd vir ‘n ewigheid
Wonder jy ook soms of die aarde rond is
En die konings van die aarde ons rondlei aan ons neus
En waar die reën vandaan kom wat ons vensters was
En die son wat dit opdroog van die skadu's op die gras
En gee my stormwolke, net voor jy slaap
Stormwolke elke aand
Stormwolke, stormwolke
Are you guilty of sorrow and is that a tear
That's running over your cheek there where you are standing
Has your heart been hijacked, with or without violence
Violently stormed without repayment
Are you tired of walking the road to nowhere
And are you tired of carrying the stuff that tires your feet
Striving forward without a plan
Without a plan that can lead you
And give me storm clouds, just before you sleep
Storm clouds every evening
Storm clouds, storm clouds
Sleep softly, knowing that all things come to an end
Sleep peacefully when you know that all things disintegrate
And our time here is merely borrowed time
Borrowed time for an eternity
Do you also sometimes wonder if the earth is round
And the kinds of the earth lead us by the nose
And where does the rain come from that washes our windows
And the sun that dries it from the shadows on the grass
And give me storm clouds, just before you sleep
Storm clouds every evening
Storm clouds, storm clouds
