Nothing but the Wind Songtext
von Mark Heard

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

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 I was nothing but the ghost of innocence past

If you should hear me beckon long lost years
Don′t let me, run me with a sword to my tears
If you should hear me wish upon a star
Don't let me, show me the way things are


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 of voice
Haunted by nothing but the ghost of paradise lost

If you should feel me move towards 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

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 I 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 of voice
Haunted by nothing but the ghost of paradise lost
