I Want Wind to Blow

The thunderclouds broke up

And the rain dried up

The lightning let up

The clacking shutters just shut up

There's no black or white

No change in the light

No night, no golden sun

The sound of cars

The smell of bars

The awful feeling of electric heat

And the fluorescent lights

There's sacrifice

There's hard feelings

There's pointless waste

I want wind to blow

My clothes off me

Sweep me off my feet

Take me up and bring me back

Oh, where I can see days pass by me

I have no head to hold in grief

But there's no hope for me

I've been set free

There's no breeze

There's no ship on my sea
