The Wind

By Bruce Clifford

It’s too bad you’ve never seen rain
It’s so sad with ice running through your veins
You can’t mistake all the promises we’ve made

It’s held up tight running from the day
It’s second sight in the corner of the maze
You can’t mistake all this give and take

I’ve been to the corner of the mountain
I’ve sinned, but the mountain still let me in
I’ve climbed every hill of promise
I’ve declined each refuge I could find

It’s so sad when you’re missing in the night
It’s too bad we could never get this right
You can’t create a promissory plight

I’ve been to the corner of the mountain
I’ve sinned, but the mountain still let me in
I’ve climbed every hill of promise
I’ve declined each refuge I could find

I’m in the wind
I’m in the wind
I’m in the wind
The mountain let me in

I’m doing alright
I’m ready to fight
I’m in the wind
The mountain let me in

I’ve been to the fire and the lake
I’ve discovered all the promises we once made
I’ve recognized every moment every time
I’ve centralized each memory as it arrives

I’m in the wind
I’m in the wind
I’m in the wind
Time and time again
Time and time again
