Lyrics for Shadows on the Barley

Storm clouds cruising cross the blue skies Shadows float across the fields of barley I find myself an island in an island I have to sort things out just my way And all I find is my bar To laugh to me I say Like all you know is true Is for ever time we know it's mine I saw clouds cruise floating cross the blue sky Shadows float across the fields of barley (?) Everything will come out soon my way Now I know, I see, I find It's the only way I ever felt, the way I do today All I say, I play the game I know I never could be sure of all the places that I've seen Clouds cruising cross the blue skies Shadows float across the fields of barley Every self an island in an island Working every problem out my way Now I see, I feel, I know It's the only way that anything could sort out to the way I say you'll find it's out of mind It's the only way I could have been It's the only way I stand Clouds cruise, float upon the barley
