[Verse 1]
Well, I'm taking some time with my quiet friend
Well, I'm taking some time on my own
Well, I'm making some plans for my getaway
There'll be blue skies shining way up above

[Chorus]
When I'm cloud-hidden
When I'm cloud-hidden
When I'm cloud-hidden
Whereabouts unknown

[Verse 2]
Well, I have to get out of the rat race now
I'm tired of the ways of mice and men
And the empires are all turning into rust again
Out of everything nothing remains the same

[Chorus]
That's why I'm cloud-hidden
Why I'm cloud hidden
That's why I'm cloud-hidden
Whereabouts unknown

[Bridge]
Sitting up on the mountain top
In my solitude
Where the fog comes rolling in
Just might do me some good
[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, I'm waiting in the clearing, with my motor on
Well, it's time to get back to the town again
Where the air is sweet and fresh in the countryside
Well, it won't be long before, be back here again

[Chorus]
When I'm cloud-hidden
I'm cloud-hidden
When I'm cloud-hidden
Whereabouts unknown
When I'm cloud-hidden
Baby, I'm cloud-hidden
When I'm cloud-hidden
Whereabouts unknown

[Outro]
Whereabouts unknown
Cloud-hidden
Cloud-hidden
Cloud-hidden
Whereabouts unknown
