I LOST MY HEART TO THE WIND lyrics
by Joel Sattler

When I woke up in the morning
all night it had been storming
The hurricane was ending
And the sky was never ending

When I looked it was gone
as if it had never been
and that’s when I knew
I had lost my heart to the wind

I lost my heart to the wind
and my soul began again
and when the stars came out
I knew what it was all about
I lost my heart to the wind
and if it ever beats again
it will be full of love
like the moon is up above

the cyclone was a spinner
arriving after dinner
and blowing out the lights
for at least a dozen nights

you cannot prepare
it will catch you unaware
and tear your town to bits
until it has to quit.

I lost my heart to the wind
and my soul began again
and when the stars came out
I knew what it was all about
I lost my heart to the wind
and if it ever beats again
it will be full of love
like the moon is up above

she played the violin
as if it were full of sin
she played the strings of heart
until they were blown apart
she played the light fantastic
as if it were orgiastic
she played with my mind
until I was nearly blind

the wind howled like a hammer
the souls in hell were screaming
and I begged to all that's holy
please tell me that I'm dreaming

and if you find my heart in the ruins
please wrap it up in ice
and keep it in the freezer
until Jesus comes back twice

cause the heart has a short shelf life
and it can float away
in the wind and the rain
in the remains of the day

I lost my heart to the wind
and my soul began again
and when the stars came out
I knew what it was all about
I lost my heart to the wind
and if it ever beats again
it will be full of love
like the moon is up above
