G             Dm7
I look to the east when the day
    F                   C
Is done and think of it all
G                           Dm7
All the thoughts that I've seen of
       C                     G
Satin seams and tide pool dreams
              Dm7
I look to the sun
              G/D
As the day is dawning
           Dm7
I carry my dreams
                G/D
From a moment before
           Dm7
I try to recall
                  G/D
But I find myself yawning
                  Dm7              G
I guess they are gone but there's more
      Dm7          G
So I head out the door

Chorus:
Cm   Fm                A#
All around, listen and you can
         D#
Hear the sound
    Cm     Fm
On cloudy days seems like I
A#                G  Dm7 G Dm7
Always feel this way

First break in the day if the time
Is right and nobody minds
I stroll down the lane take a breath
Of air and drift on a dream
I look to the sun
As the day is warming
Consider the things
That have happened before
I feel like I'm one
With the wind on the hillside
I feel like I'm one with the
River that runs by my door

Chorus:
Cm   Fm                A#
All around, listen and you can
         D#
Hear the sound
   Cm     Fm
On cloudy days seems like I
A#               D#
Always feel this way
Cm   Fm                A#
All around, listen and you can
         D#
Hear the sound
   Cm     Fm
On cloudy days seems like I
A#                G  Dm7 G/D Dm7 G/D
Always feel this way

I look to the sun
As the day is dawning
I carry my dreams
From a moment before
I feel like I'm one
With the wind on the hillside
I feel like I'm one with the
River that runs by my door

Chorus:
Cm   Fm                A#
All around, listen and you can
         D#
Hear the sound
   Cm     Fm
On cloudy days seems like I
A#               D#
Always feel this way
