This is a song I wrote several years ago and was covered by Lance Cyrlin whose 12 string guitar version filled my heart with joy. I redid this for Ukulele, changing it from C to D major.

There is a cloud in heaven
let peace be your blanket,
let love be your friend.

I'd like to turn you in to water.
I'd like to swim in your sea.
I'd like to turn you into water,
so I could drink you inside of me.

But you're on one side of the ocean
and I'm on this side of the sea.
I can only speak with this emotion,
when you are safe away from me.

There is a cloud in heaven.
There is a cloud in heaven.
Let peace be your blanket,
let love set us free.

Hi Ed,

As stated in other comments below...yup..pretty cool to hear your voice. Ya sound great -:) The tune feels like it's in a comfy vocal range. Vocals and melody lines come off really smooth. The counter-melody's from the different Uke parts work well with the vocal melody thoughout. Very nice Ed....and a very different style for you -:) A 6/8 waltz...vocals...and undidj'd....so far hehe.  Well done Sir -:)

Very nice song Ed with a simple but pleasing melody.  It is one of those songs that continues playing in my mind afterwards.  Very original.

Thanks Mr. Ganimead sir :)
I think all the originality is in the lyrics, more like poetry than true folk song, but folksie enough in structure I think.

A nice one Ed, and for the first time ever, I heard you sing, pretty good too. The uke is a nice edition, one does not hear too much of that on sc. I had a really good one from Hawaii but traded it in on a guitar, now after hearing yours, I wish I had it.
