Mutton Birds - When The Wind Comes Round Songtexte

(Don McGlashan)
You wake up
You've been dreaming
Words fly round your head and you write them down
Get yourself a drink
All around you waters rise
You'd be surprised to see
How you're hanging on
If you stopped to think
You think that the sun and moon revolve around you
You think that you lost me years ago
But I've got news for you
I found you
I found you
Remember we were friends
Our histories and secrets were entwined
You were not above me
People said we could be twins
Two sets of arms and legs
And a single mind
So why'd you let them have me?
You think that you know all that you need to know now
But when we get to where I'm taking you
You'll understand
Let's go now
Let's go now
When the wind comes round
When the wind comes round
Little boy don't cry
I'll take all your fancy things
Suck them up into the sky
If you so much as open your eyes
When the wind comes round
When the wind comes round
You're asleep now
You can keep your balance a little while
It's all the same to me
I'll wait by your bed
You want to give up
You want to get out now while you've got the chance
I can see your fear
Hanging over your head
Some day in a month of Sundays
You'll be driving by
Some place that you think is no place
We'll come face to face
And I will shake you
One of these days I'll wake you
When the wind comes round
When the wind comes round
Little boy don't cry
I'll take all your fancy things
Suck them up into the sky
If you so much as open your eyes
When the wind comes round
When the wind comes round
When the wind comes round
When the wind comes round
Little boy don't cry
For all that never was
And all that will never be
'cause you know what it's like to be me
When the wind comes round
When the wind comes round
