lyrics

When we were young I looked ahead
and it didn't matter where
I had been those years before
or the shape of all my fears

When we met I let you in
that is the only way of wind
it follows love before we know

I'm looking out my window
I see sky, not the moon
the wind left last night
the wind left with you
so fast the torrents nearly broke my sides
now the sky it looks so blue, so blue, so blue
so gorgeous I am going to clean this room

One day I shoveled under my feet
yeah you were digging next to me
and we planted trees beneath the garbage heaps

It is not a place to stand
how we built and how we planned
but it's real
if we see it then we'll know

I'm looking out my window
I see sky, not the moon
the wind left last night
the wind left with you
so fast the torrents nearly broke my sides
now the sky it looks so blue, so blue, so blue
so gorgeous I am going to clean this room
