Carey Nall: Music

the wind (4:15)

(Carey Nall)

words and music: Carey Nall
Just wishing peace to all my friends, to all my relations. Wrote itself - don't know what else to say. Not sure what it all means or where it came from. I think I had been reading Loren Eiseley.
Every time I see your long hair flowing
I don't need to ask your name
Get in line, you see - we must be going
down the windy way we came
I don't hear your answer
Do you know the reason why
And oh - did I tell you
the wind is on our side

Can you feel the sun, a'shining down
upon you lying in my bed
Is it real; this one, that's spinning round and round
and round inside my head
I can see you smiling
you don't know the reason why
And oh - did I tell you
the trees are on our side

Can you hear the wolf - calling to you
In the middle of the night
Is it Fear - the old bones are falling through
Into the sun and taking flight
I can hear them leaving
I don't know the reason why
And oh - did I tell you
The wolf is on our side

Take some time - find out just where the world is
Find some peace inside your soul
Make a rhyme - sing out - do what you feel is
the way to make you whole
I can hear you thinking
Still you don't know the reason why
And oh - did I tell you
the wind is on our side
