Magic on the Wind
The wind scrubs the stars to shine silver bright
Scattering clouds and scaring them away
And there is magic on the wind tonight
Shattering darkness into crystal day
The wind has come and I have waited for
A passing opportunity like this
To let myself out by another door
The wind has come and I can feel the kiss
Of other which reminds me then of me
And so wondering if I am alone
In prosecution of my destiny
I let go and I fall to the unknown
The wind winnows me as it makes me clean
Of the detritus of disappointment
Not the high nor low but the in between
None knows where it came from nor where it went
The wind is my spirit no more no less
It represents me as I rise to be
The wind is the only faith I confess
And it sounds a lot like myself to me
The wind is light and dark to curse and bless
A revelation or a fantasy
And in the end the wind is all I know:
Where does it come from and where does it go?
The wind comes from where it comes and goes there
In neverending cycle again and
Again because the wind is everywhere
The wind in my heart my head and my hand
The wind is the breath of life and of death
Ending beginning losing and winning
The wind has come and I have waited for
A passing opportunity like this
To let myself in by another door
The wind scrubs the stars to shine silver bright
Scattering clouds and scaring them away
Shattering darkness into crystal day
The wind has come and I can feel the kiss
Ending beginning losing and winning
The wind is the breath of life and of death
And there is magic on the wind tonight
