The Winds of Change
John Taylor 2/4/96
- The winds of change
- Won't blow away desire.
- It's been years, and you're still here -
- I still miss you all the time;
- The candle still burns strong
- Change can't put out that fire.
- Tell me, how can I love you still
- When the best was left behind?
- Oh, the wind can't blow what's rooted fast -
- Your memory fades, but the dream dies last,
- And if I tell the truth,
- Guess I'm wanting it that way...
- Cause what we had
- Was so much more exciting -
- This hollow safety I live now
- Just can't compare with yesterday.
- But I've no choice
- It's you who wasn't happy.
- If the wind won't blow me peace,
- Maybe she'll blow you back one day.
- Oh, the wind can't blow what's rooted fast -
- Your memory fades, but the dream dies last,
- And if I tell the truth,
- Guess I'm wanting it that way...
- If I tell the truth,
- I'd rather live in yesterday,
-
- When the wind blew you
- Into my waiting arms
- We made love all night long
- And dreamed of things to come.
- Then you were young
- And I was so much bolder,
- And far too stubborn yet
- To decry what we'd become.
- Is it too much to ask?
- Am I a fool to still be waiting
- For the day you findally find
- It's me who's loved you all along?
- Oh, desire's strange
- And there's no method or explaining
- How or why the wind will blow
- Leaving one heart there behind...
INSTRUMENTAL
- Oh, the wind can't blow what's rooted fast -
- Your memory fades, but the dream dies last,
- And if I tell the truth,
- Guess I'm wanting it that way...
- If I tell the truth,
- I'd rather live in yesterday...
- When the wind blew you
- Into my waiting arms,
- We made love all night long,
- And dreamed of things to come...
