I'll Wind Blowing

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.

Across the naked desert

That housed a million hurts

But I heard a voice call unto me

"Beware", is what it said

You're asking all the questions

That is dangerous to do

For you ain't got any answers

And your time is nearly through

There's an ill wind blowing

From the west unto the east

And I see my world going

From a beauty to a beast

And the time is getting nearer to 1974

There's an ill wind blowing

And it's blowing us, blowing us,

Yes it's blowing us off the shore

And the fortunes fading from my face

And I feel a thousand fears

How many know that illness grows

It never disappears

And I wonder when the Medicine Man

Knows that they are sane

They qualified in genocide

And specialise in pain

There's an ill wind blowing

From the west unto the east

And I see my world going

From a beauty to a beast

And the time is getting nearer to 1974

There's an ill wind blowing

And it's blowing us, blowing us,

Yes it's blowing us off the shore

There's an ill wind blowing

From the west unto the east

And if my redeemer lay there

Then he's fighting with a Priest

And the time is getting nearer

To the opening of the door

There's an ill wind blowing

And it's blowing us, blowing us,

Yes it's blowing us off the shore

(See you later)
