lyrics

Cloud 9

I’m not too sure about falling in love
But I might have stumbled onto something
Maybe I just needed a little shove
& the promise of a softer landing

it’s my battle cry, “I need more space”
& I felt you closing in
there’s room to spare in your embrace
& shelter from the bitter wind

not long ago I could take it or leave it
a lifelong love, I couldn’t conceive it

but I’m not gonna give you up, not for one minute
if I’m going to be in love, I want you in it
& I’m not keeping track of time, making tracks for the county line
I know I’m falling, I prefer to call it cloud 9

I’ve tried real hard to keep my balance
I swore I’d be the last to go down
There’s been close calls & still I’ve managed
To catch myself before I hit the ground

No safety nets, no helmets no protection
Nothing to come between me and your affection

but I’m not gonna give you up, not for one minute
if I’m going to be in love, I want you in it
& I’m not keeping track of time, making tracks for the county line
I know I’m falling, I prefer to call it cloud 9

Feelin’ like I finally set my burdens down
My hands are free to keep me circling about the ground
No heavy hearts, we float along just like a feather
Or take my hand, at least we can go down together

but I’m not gonna give you up, not for one minute
if I’m going to be in love, I want you in it
& I’m not keeping track of time, making tracks for the county line
I know I’m falling, I prefer to call it cloud 9
