Lyrics

The four winds that blow through my soul
Wouldn’t carry her here for no reason
Circumstances beyond my control
Bring our brave cavalier to the doorstep of treason

And the storms I once recklessly summoned
As I chose to keep living the lie
Bitter rains I was sure would be coming
Never fall from the stars in her misty green eyes

If the wind blows my way, am I willing to pay
For a few scars that might never mend
‘Cause If love, in the end’s, still just tilting at windmills
Then there goes my faith in the wind

On the breeze comes the music of twilight
Like two leaves in the forest we fall
Forever, or only for one night
Til the dawn brings a bittersweet end to it all

Every dream she so pleasantly haunted
Lonely nights as the wind learned my name
Blown away by the things I once wanted
And the taste of her lips that put them to shame

If the wind blows my way, oh I’m willing to pay
For a few scars that might never mend
And If love, in the end’s, still just tilting at windmills
Then there goes my faith in the wind

Not the old world of diamonds and rust, no
With my lonely heart gathering dust, Oh
If the wind has a plan for me, then I’m a new man
Not just maybe I can . . . but I must

As the dawn spills the truth through my window
I awake in the stillness alone
Like some subtly cruel innuendo
Oh, the wind doesn’t care that I’ve written in stone

Like a whisper the breezes remind me
Was it her voice I heard in the crowd?
And now with the four winds behind me
I fearlessly and faithfully look to the clouds

If the wind blows my way, Oh I’m willing to pay
For a few scars I know will never mend
And If love, in the end’s, still just tilting at windmills
Then there goes my faith in the wind

If love, in the end’s, still just tilting at windmills
Then there goes my faith in the wind
