Deep within in the wind there is trouble blowing in
And I'm forced to turn my back
Though I wish to raise my chin
And I know that there soon will be calm again
As I'm held within these lines upon your palm and then
I return to the safety in the words of my friend
And I wait for the wind to turn
Now I sit by this window as the world rumbles by
Though the landscape is blurred I can focus on the sky
And I know that this road will take me home and so
I pack up my soul and leave my sorrow
And I drown in the dream of these clouds and it seems
They have faces I've seen before
And the why's in my words have gone so often unheard
And the when's are a time gone by
Now I've asked many questions of this world and I've pried
At the places that come and the faces that go
I remember the time would grow longer then
And I'd ask of the world to leave me just one friend
And I'd lie wide awake as the night set in
And I'd wait for the world to turn
And the why's in my words have gone so often unheard
And the when's are a time gone by
And the why's in my words have gone so often unheard
And the when's are a time gone by
