| Can you hear me? |
| I am choking on rain clouds
|
| Coughing up lightning; |
| trembling like thunder
|
| The water is coming in (It's pulling me under)
|
| For forty days, four-hundred nights, with no wind in sight
|
| I know these clouds will never part ways
|
| (But sunlight started creeping)
|
| You came in like the southern wind
|
| Started blowing in, started knocking me down
|
| I felt alive when I hit the ground
|
| (To me you are the desert sand)
|
| You came in like the southern wind
|
| (To me you’re comfort like dry land)
|
| Started blowing in, started knocking me down
|
| (You shelter me from the storm)
|
| I felt alive when I hit the ground
|
| (You are the hands that keep me warm)
|
| So, so, so Southern Wind, pick me up and dry me out
|
| Take away all my fear; |
| erase my doubts
|
| I’m a castaway and I’m afraid (of dying alone)
|
| (I want to know) what it’s like to breathe again
|
| I want to hear my own heart beat again
|
| I’m tired of drowning
|
| You came in like the southern wind
|
| Started blowing in, started knocking me down
|
| I felt alive when I hit the ground
|
| (To me you are the desert sand)
|
| You came in like the southern wind
|
| (To me you’re comfort like dry land)
|
| Started blowing in, started knocking me down
|
| (You shelter me from the storm)
|
| I felt alive when I hit the ground
|
| (You are the hands that keep me warm)
|
| Now I am not afraid to take on the rain
|
| And I won’t shy away from these white waves
|
| Crashing down around my face
|
| Set an open course for the eye of the storm
|
| I’m ready to chase my white whale
|
| So let loose these tattered sails
|
| And it doesn’t matter (no, I’m not afraid)
|
| If I make it back or if I fail, Because you saved me
|
| And that will be enough somehow (white waves)
|
| Not even (come crashing down) an ocean could stop me now
|
| (Around my face) no, not even an ocean could stop me now
|
| You came in like the southern wind
|
| Started blowing in, started knocking me down
|
| I felt alive when I hit the ground
|
| (To me you are the desert sand)
|
| You came in like the southern wind
|
| (To me you’re comfort like dry land)
|
| Started blowing in, started knocking me down
|
| (You shelter me from the storm)
|
| I felt alive when I hit the ground
|
| (You are the hands that keep me warm)
|
| To me you are the desert sand (I won’t)
|
| To me you’re comfort like dry land (shy away)
|
| (From these) You shelter me from the storm (white waves)
|
| Crashing down around my face
|
| Not even an ocean could stop me now, no
|
| Not even an ocean could stop me now, no |
