When the Winds Blow (2010 Remaster)

Common people living quietly in confusion

Information's giving quite a grand illusion

Hearts are beating, keeping time to meet a deadline

Faces pressed against the pane to watch a headline

When the winds blow I will call

When the winds blow I will call

When the winds blow I will call you

We will stand and watch them fall

All our ships are sailing blindly under one sun

Sending signals, calling kindly, reaching no-one

Echoes sound the shifting air of empires calling

Hold my hand, the shifting sand of empires falling

When the winds blow I will call

When the winds blow I will call

When the winds blow I will call you

We will stand and watch them fall

Oh, we'll stand and watch them fall

We confided, then decided not to follow

All the slogans, taunts and charges, sound so hollow

With open minds across the border, we have waited

But keeping place within this race is complicated

When the winds blow I will call

When the winds blow I will call

When the winds blow I will call you

We will stand and watch them

When the winds blow I will call

When the winds blow I will call

When the winds blow I will call you

We will stand and watch them fall

Oh, we'll stand and watch them fall
