Nothing but the Wind

[Verse 1]
If you should see me stop and scan the hot sky
Don’t let me, give me an alibi
If you should see me stoop to smell the rose
Don’t let me, show me the thorns it grows

[Chorus]
I can hear nothing but the howling
Nothing but the wind
And it is covering up the tracks where I have been
I will say nothing but a whisper
Lash me to the mast
For it was nothing but the ghost of innocence past

[Verse 2]
If you should hear me beckon long lost years
Don’t let me, burn me with the salt of my tears
If you should hear me wish upon a star
Don’t let me, show me the way things are

[Chorus]
I can hear nothing but the howling
Nothing but the wind
And it is covering up the tracks where I have been
I will say nothing but a whisper
Paralyzed his voice
Haunted by nothing but the ghost of paradise lost

[Verse 3]
If you should feel me move toward the light
You’ll shoot me down like a dead satellite
If you should feel me shake on feet of clay
You’ll have me baptized in shades of grey

[Chorus]
I can hear nothing but the howling
Nothing but the wind
And it is covering up the tracks where I have been
I will say nothing but a whisper
Lash me to the mast
For it was nothing but the ghost of innocence past

I can hear nothing but the howling
Nothing but the wind
And it is covering up the tracks where I have been
I will say nothing but a whisper
Paralyzed his voice
Haunted by nothing but the ghost of paradise lost
