lyrics

Where the wind blows
It blows through all the windows
And grabs at your curly brown hair

Where the wind blows
It don't need to be swallowed
By anything but the clear air

But we are not the wind

Where the boats row
They row across all the rivers
And crash through the salted shores

Where the all go
No one really seems to know
They say we all float to the core

But we are no such thing

I have waited to long for
Something that will never change

It seems there's a storm rolling over
Paired with a cloud full of rage

Have I dreamed too much
Longed for this touch
That somehow I've maybe gone mad

Have I drifted away
Thoughts gone astray
Too long for my mind to come back

Have I sunk to the core
Never to return to shore
This illusion seems too hard to grasp

Where the wind blows
It blows across all the meadows
To the porch of a wooden fenced house

Where the sky snows
And I'm always alone
And nothing is ever too loud

But I am not the wind
