The Wind

The Wind

I heard this today and it gutted me. And in the same moment lifted me up—if that’s possible?
It’s a song from my youth. To me it was always about disappointment. About battling unseen forces—real or imagined. About the uncertainty of life.
And it’s right.
In this time of emotional upheaval words fall short, but music?

If, like me, this makes you cry, I say get it out—let the tears flow.
Then… let it take you where the heart wants to go.

To all of you, my tender-hearted tribe,
I wish us all love & peace.

The Wind

I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul
.
Where I’ll end up, well I think only God really knows
.
I’ve sat upon the setting sun…
But never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once…
No never, never, never
.

I listen to my words but they fall far below
.
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go
I swam upon the Devil’s lake…
But never, never, never, never
I’ll never make the same mistake…
No – never, never, never
