Wind and Roses
Where did you first hear the whistle blowing?
Leading me to all I could find.
Don’t you want to feel that train a-rolling
On home, throw off that disguise
Who are you to keep me from knowing
All that wisdom that the world wants to show?
Paradise awaits at the burning
Its all there, but we will never go
Where the wind and roses wait it will take the night away
Call the light to show you what I see
When the northern winds will blow it will comfort your soul
Bid thee well as I go down among the trees
And all the light will fade
But who am I to say where we’re going?
I have always been too easy led astray
I’m ready to forsake the wiser learning
Fall hard, it’s all I ever say
Where the wind and roses wait it will take the night away
Call the light to show you what I see
When the northern winds will blow it will comfort your soul
Fare thee well as I go down among the trees
Oh hear my soul, c’mon take me now
Feel my heart don’t you break it now
Oh heal my soul, c’mon take it now
It’s all there, but you will never know
Where the wind and roses wait it will take the night away
Call the light to show you what I see
When the northern winds will blow it will comfort your soul
Fare thee well as I go down among the trees
And all the light will fade
