Tryin' To Hold The Wind Up With A Sail |
| Well somewhere the sun today’s soakin' up a cornfield dry |
| But it’s shining a love song on some snowy clouds |
| And I know my fingerprints will be brushed away |
| By the hard plate every day of the century |
| But the other night when you cried and you woke me up |
| Just to tell me of your bad dream |
| I held you close to be of some avail |
| Tryin' to hold the wind up with a sail |
| We turned again and stood upon that gentle land |
| It’s a vulnerable drum of old moss and sand |
| We could rise up another hot naked wall if we stand tall |
| We can face it again, it’s the same old wind |
| But last night when you cried and woke me up |
| Just to tell me it’s all a bad dream |
| I tried to hold you to be of some avail |
| Like tryin' to hold the wind up with a sail |
| Whenever you cry and wake me up and tell me you know |
| That it’s all a bad dream |
| I want to be there to hold you to be of some avail |
| Tryin' to hold the wond up with a sail |
