John Cale - Face to the Sky lyrics

She is standing, listening to the wind Darkness lifting her face to the sky Her homecoming laughter Swirling around her Dizzy as a top on a chessboard Dizzy as a top on a chessboard Her memories of wild men standing still In the desert building a fire Holding back the fears And whistling her tune Dizzy as a top on a chessboard She'd run out of kindness She'd run out today She'd run out everything She had to say Wind in the darkness lifted her face And the sky was bursting again Her homecoming laughter Swirling around her Dizzy as a top on a chessboard Dizzy as a top on a chessboard You're whistling a tune That she's never heard Holding back the fear in the wind And somebody's hearing all her thoughts And lifting her face to the sky Lifting her face to the sky Lifting, lifting, lifting her face Lifting, lifting, lifting her face Lifting, lifting, lifting her face Lifting, lifting, lifting her face
