Lyrics
Cloudstreet
Words and music by Paul White
She's a moaning, stirring, feeling
Luck is a lady that changes her mind
With a force within
She gives the breadknife a spin
She leaves you
Moan like the wind
There's a house on Cloudstreet that breathes
Like a human soul long deceased
There are families within
Forever waiting to win
Their losing streaks never end
Hear the spirit
Moan like the wind
Feel it
Cloudstreet
House haunted within
Moans like the wind
It's a tingling, sensing feeling
Where the fingers were once
The nerve ends begin
Oh that sensor now, it can feel when and how
Lady luck deals her hand
Hear the spirit
Moan like the wind
Feel it
Cloudstreet
House haunted within
Hear the spirit
Moan like the wind
Feel it
Cloudstreet
House haunted within
Moans like the wind
It just moans like the wind
