Richard Thompson Mystery Wind
Mystery wind blowing tonight Driving rain, close up tight Don't leave a crack for the rain to get in Don't leave a hole for the mystery wind >From some other time, from some other place Mystery wind make a fool say grace Lord above how great thou art Mystery wind blow right through your heart Whistling down from out of this world Take an honest man away from his girl Stir up trouble in a married man's bed Make you say things better left unsaid It's a cruel wind, screams and moans Don7t know where from, don't know where it goes Rustling the leaves around your door Cold cold fingers through the cracks in the floor Can't you smell it, you can almost feel it Mystery wind, you just can't see it Foul your water, steal your bread Wake up things better left for dead Mystery wind are you strong enough To fight for your right when the time gets tough Plague and hunger and burning rain Too many good men blown away By the mystery wind -------------------------------------------------------------
