The wind is a friend of mine
She blew me in from the desert
to a picturesque coastal town
She came around often
bring rain and snow and life
in big booming clouds
But she hasn't been here in a while
It's taking so much energy to smile
The air is so stale, I can hardly breathe
The ground is crumbling so I fall to my knees
The sun's harsh heat is a warning to me
that though I can run
I will never be free
When I'm happy, I'm lying
The raindrops that fall
are the tears from my crying
The wind's cool breeze
feels like nothing to me
The desert I ran from
is a place inside of me
and though I can run
I will never escape the heat
of a life
that's dying
from the lack
of living
The wind
was a
friend
of
mine
