Into the Wind |
He threw his hopes into the wind |
To see if they would pin on her again |
He threw his heart against the wall |
To see if it would stick or fall |
She put her arms around him |
And said «You are forgiven» |
He said «Well you’re the only thing |
That makes life worth living |
When you live into the wind» |
He pushed the rock up to the top |
Until it rolled back down the mountain |
He did it once, now he can’t top |
But he’ll never quit complaining |
She tells him why he does it |
It must be because he needs to |
He takes his hands away |
And the rock doesn not roll down |
It sits firm into the wind |
Why can’t he see |
He creates these situations |
It’s not to be or not to be |
Nothing’s that easy |
He builds a home paper on sand |
And awaits congratulations |
The wind blows once, the house falls down |
And he wails amidst the ruins |
For all the time that he spent working |
On this worthless enterprise |
She stands him on a rock and says |
«A word to the wise |
If you live into the wind…» |
He doesn’t feel the cold today |
He doesn’t worry about tomorrow |
He doesn’t build a house of cards |
Just so he can knock it down |
He takes her in his arms |
His overconfidence returning |
And laughs with her when she says |
«We have love to burn |
If it burns into the wind.» |
