Lyrics Let the Wind Blow - Dar Williams

Let the Wind Blow

O the stories we could tell, my adventurous friend
And the perils that we faced on our journey homeward
We were sailing in the open and the storm was coming fast
So we jumped up to our posts, but the rudder split in half
So here comes the wave
It came crashing on the deck, twisted up the sail
But then we saw the land and we jumped into the sea
Let the wind blow, rescued in each other’s arms
We watched the sun rise up again
So we marched into the day, our machetes lifted high
Blazing through the thorny vines on our journey homeward
But we heard the distant cry and we saw the cloud of smoke
But by then it was too late, and we couldn’t turn around
So here comes the fire
We were coughing as we ran, trees fell in the path
But then we saw the rocks and we climbed 'til we were free
Let the wind blow, you pulled me up into your arms
We watched the sun rise up again
