ANSWER TO THE WIND song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

if it is kind then make it just
put together possible
adjustable the cricket but
out the undeniable

here the storm is opening
look inside the box
focus on the laughing laughing
busting up the locks

the door you gave me was a jar
the birds are bummered on the roof
too narrow at the quakes a beam
midnight empties into proof

answer to the wind
answer to the wind
if you know the question
answer to the wind

looking through the keyhole
at the lightning flashing
listen to the howling cold
hear the lightning crashing

something similar to pain
and the leaves all blow away
suddenly the white hot rain
turns the world to silver day

I am reading through the night
I can not close down the lesson
in fact the room shuts me up tight
and your kisses leave me guessing

someone walking attic in
footsteps I feel in my skin
the epidermis much too thin
to block out all the dreaming

answer to the wind
answer to the wind
if you know the question
answer to the wind

the secret naked here inside
the language of the hurricane
and words fail me the passing bride
tries again to just explain

the ghost is wandering on the stairs
the broken lightbulb memories
the spirits musical the chairs
I fumble looking for the keys

answer to the wind
answer to the wind
if you know the question
answer to the wind
