A large moving body of things in the air or on the ground; a swarm: a cloud of locusts. b. A collection of particles or other small entities: an electron cloud; a cloud of spores. c. An opaque mass of particles suspended in water: a cloud of silt in the pond.
If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away by Justin Moore. This Dallas Davidson, Rob Hatch and Brett Jones penned ballad was originally recorded by American Country artist Rhett Akins in 2006. His version was released as a single but did not chart.
About three years later, I finally developed the plot, titled it I'll Fly Away, and it was published in 1932 [in Wonderful Message, Hartford Music Co.]. Those familiar with the song will note that I paraphrased one line of the old ballad to read Like a bird from prison bars have [has] flown.. When I wrote it, I had no idea that it would become so unversally popular.
