lyrics

Take a breath,

Walk alone for miles.

Drive until the road leads you to the sea.

Hours run through your lifeline, something rugged and fair;

You see the end, it’s coming, in a short while you’ll be there.

Return through the midlands,

You find the crops are gone;

Winter came in, and stole them again.

If only there were hills to comfort these lonesome fields;

Skeleton trees are the only friends of these flat dead lands.

In the fade of the evening,

The fields look gray as ashes.

A golden stalk cannot be found;

The sun is falling down.

Split the day from the night

with the dwindling of Red Light.

The Lady comforts me as I mull over my time;

In the times of the saints, in the casting of Red rays,

Every night I fall in love with the Wind and Her Ways.

Split the day from the night,

with the dwindling of Red Light.

The Lady comforts me as I mull over my time;

In the times of the saints, for the casting of Red rays,

Every night, I fall in love with the Wind and Her Ways.

Every night, I fall in love; every night, I fall in love.

Every night, I fall in love with the Wind and Her Ways.

Every night, I fall in love; every night, I fall in love.

Every night, I fall in love with the Wind and Her Ways.
