Verse:
C Bm11 C Bm11 Em
I can't say it, so I let the wind. Come wind, destroyer of worlds. Speak to me. Show me
Bm11 C Bm11 Em Bm11
shapes in swirling dust. Come wind, sayer of names. Speak to me, make me listen in to the night. Come
C Bm11 Em
destroyer. Pound on my window. Scream through my house, tear the
Bm11 C Bm11 Em Bm11
land from itself. Come wind, in the mouth of the sky. Speak for me. Show the hills insides. Show me the
C
river.
Bm11 Em Bm11
Verse:
There was a
C Bm11 C Bm11 C
break in the clouds, and you lit up my house. For a while I was in your favor, but then it closed.
Bm11 C Bm11 Em Bm11
Now the wind speaks in the branches. Now the wind speaks in the branches saying
C Bm11 Em Bm11
"Hold on to something, and watch it go. Everything you love will end up on the breeze.
C Bm11 Em Bm11
The roots that held the tree down left a deep hole, full of water, reflecting sky."
