Lyrics
The Wind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The house over there
Has people inside
With the most peculiar stare
This house not like mine
It's built to stand alone
Long past its time
Sometimes in my dreams
I see two birds tied up together
One is strong and one is keen
So one gets fat and one stays lean
Chorus - 2times
Long live the wind
That blows down the fences
Can't stop the wind
You can't quell the mystery
I think of my home
So far away
The smells and the colors
I'm counting the miles
Walking along
A cold and dusty highway
Sometimes in my mind
I take the time to turn back the pages
Try not to speak, try not to run
Not to breathe
Repeat Chorus 2x
