I can't say it so I'll let the wind Come wind, destroyer of worlds Speak to me, show me shapes in swirling dust Come wind, slayer of names Speak to me, make me listen into the night Come wind, the fog from my eyes Come revealer, the town lights from the night skies Come destroyer, pound on my window Scream through my house, tear the old land from itself Come wind, in the mouth of the sky Speak for me, show the hills' insides
Show me the river roaring through the house There was a break in the clouds And the house was bright for a little while I was in your favor, but then it closed Now the wind speaks in the branches Now the wind speaks, saying: "Hold on to something, and watch it go Everything you love will end up on the breeze The roots that held the tree down left a deep hole Full of water, reflecting sky."
