Lyrics

AND THE WIND ROARS ON
(by STEVE DAFOE) 2006



CHORUS 1:

AND THE WIND ROARS ON ACROSS THE EVERGREENS
AND SWEEPS ON THROUGH THE CANYON BUT NEVER SEEN

AND THE WIND ROARS ON ACROSS THE CITIES AND TOWNS
BRUSHING BY RUSHING PEOPLE BUT NEVER SEEN OR FOUND

'CAUSE THE WIND FUST ROARS ON
OH...THE WIND ROARS ON.........


VERSE 1:

IT CARRIES ALL THE SOUNDS
FROM THE SILENCE TO THE THUNDER
THEN LETS THEM FALLS ALL AROUND
NEVER SEEN BUT AN UNSPOKEN WONDER
CARRIES FOR ALL THE BREATH OF LIFE

CHORUS 2:

AND THE WIND ROARS ON ACROSS THE EVERGREENS
AND SWEEPS ON THROUGH THE CANYON BUT NEVER SEEN

AND THE WIND ROARS ON ACROSS THE CITIES AND TOWNS
BRUSHING BY RUSHING PEOPLE BUT NEVER SEEN OR FOUND

'CAUSE THE WIND FUST ROARS ON
OH...THE WIND ROARS ON.........


VERSE 2:

GENTLY MASSAGES THROUGH HER GOLDEN HAIR
COLLECTS HER SECRETS AND WHISKS AWAY
BLOWS GENTLY ACROSS HER SKIN SO FAIR.....
TO KNOW WHAT THE WIND KNOWS
TO GIVE UP ITS SECRETS BEFORE IT GOES...


CHORUS 3:

AND THE WIND ROARS ON ACROSS THE EVERGREENS
AND SWEEPS ON THROUGH THE CANYON BUT NEVER SEEN

AND THE WIND ROARS ON ACROSS THE CITIES AND TOWNS
BRUSHING BY RUSHING PEOPLE BUT NEVER SEEN OR FOUND

'CAUSE THE WIND FUST ROARS ON
OH...THE WIND ROARS ON.........


VERSE 3:

IT MOVES THE WATER ON THE SEAS
IT MOVES THE CLOUDS THROUGH THE SKY
IT CAN BE FURIOUS OR MOVES WITH A SIGH...
NEVER SEEN BUT ITS PRESENCE FELT
KEEPS IT SECRETS UNTIL THE END.........


CHORUS 4:

AND THE WIND ROARS ON ACROSS THE EVERGREENS
AND SWEEPS ON THROUGH THE CANYON BUT NEVER SEEN

AND THE WIND ROARS ON ACROSS THE CITIES AND TOWNS
BRUSHING BY RUSHING PEOPLE BUT NEVER SEEN OR FOUND

'CAUSE THE WIND FUST ROARS ON
OH...THE WIND ROARS ON.........
