Take Me from the West Wind

Take me from the west wind, terrible and silent

Kicking up, the wake swells up in the back and you're out

Staring at the night sky, watching the clouds

And picturing another way

As you move together slowly to the south

Take me from the west wind, heavy like a siren

Reaching from a young man's perch in the fire

And working for another day, holding on to anything

That’ll move towards whatever'll pull you out

Lying down as the wind moves on with the sun to another day

Stepping out of the downward spiral of something you used to say

That it's easy

Easy? Why would it be so easy

Living life in somebody's arms that needs to see me

And have me each minute that they're pleasing

With a mugshot and a simple bio?

Yeah believe me, yeah believe me, I'll own the life I'm leading

And when the cloud becomes the storm I'll have deleted

But will hold the things I’ve worked for

Take me from the west wind, terrible and silent

Kicking up, the wake swells up in the back and you're out
