[Verse 1]
I am the west wind, I am the sea gull
I dance on the waves as they break on the shore line
The moon is my sorrow, the moon is my lantern
I search for you so long, these dark lonely beaches
Oh where can you be? This restless sea
These empty nights have swallowed me
[Bridge 1]
Looking for something, softer illusion
Soothe these vicious schemes
There is the old one, the wise one, the bold one
Who guides scenery
[Verse 2]
I am the hunger, the ache of affliction
I nestle in bones that you left for the vultures
Death is my secret, the child my illusion
And life is the suffering that brings men to know me and
Oh, where can you be? This raging age
This rotting life, thIs mystery
[Bridge 2]
Lost in your body, cave of your screaming
Longing to be free
When you have broken the spine of your madness
Come over here to me
