Richard Thompson - Mysery Wind lyrics

Mystery wind blowing tonight Driving rain, close up tight Don't leave a crack for the rain to get in Don't leave a hole for the mystery wind [Verse] From some other time, from some other place Mystery wind make a fool say grace Lord above how great Thou art Mystery wind blowing right through your hearts Whistling down from out of this world Take an honest man away from his girl Stir up trouble in a married man's bed Make you say things better left unsaid [Chorus] The mystery wind, the mystery wind It's a cruel wind, screams and moans Don't know where from, don't know where it goes Rustling the leaves around your door Cold, cold fingers through the cracks in the floor The mystery wind [Verse] Can't you smell it, you can almost feel it Mystery wind, you just can't see it Foul your water, and steal your bread Wake up things better left for dead Mystery wind, are you strong enough To fight for your right when the time gets tough? Plague and hunger and burning rain Too many good men blown away by the mystery wind [Chorus] The mystery wind It's a cruel wind, screams and moans Don't know where from, don't know where it goes Rustling the leaves around your door Cold, cold fingers through the cracks in the floor The mystery wind Mystery wind blowing tonight Driving rain, close up tight Don't leave a crack for the rain to get in And don't leave a hole for the mystery wind The mystery wind
