When The Wind Comes Round

(Don McGlashan)

You wake up

You've been dreaming

Words fly round your head and you write them down

Get yourself a drink

All around you waters rise

You'd be surprised to see

How you're hanging on

If you stopped to think

You think that the sun and moon revolve around you

You think that you lost me years ago

But I've got news for you

I found you

I found you

Remember we were friends

Our histories and secrets were entwined

You were not above me

People said we could be twins

Two sets of arms and legs

And a single mind

So why'd you let them have me?

You think that you know all that you need to know now

But when we get to where I'm taking you

You'll understand

Let's go now

Let's go now

When the wind comes round

When the wind comes round

Little boy don't cry

I'll take all your fancy things

Suck them up into the sky

If you so much as open your eyes

When the wind comes round

When the wind comes round

You're asleep now

You can keep your balance a little while

It's all the same to me

I'll wait by your bed

You want to give up

You want to get out now while you've got the chance

I can see your fear

Hanging over your head

Some day in a month of Sundays

You'll be driving by

Some place that you think is no place

We'll come face to face

And I will shake you

One of these days I'll wake you

When the wind comes round

When the wind comes round

Little boy don't cry

I'll take all your fancy things

Suck them up into the sky

If you so much as open your eyes

When the wind comes round

When the wind comes round

When the wind comes round

When the wind comes round

Little boy don't cry

For all that never was

And all that will never be

'cause you know what it's like to be me

When the wind comes round

When the wind comes round
