Howling Wind

from Looking Glass by Alela Diane

/

lyrics

In the days of before
Gentle breeze blowing sweetly away
With a song in our hearts
And a stage for the play
Now, we stay where we are
In the walls with a yellow bird
As the news echoes through the waves
All the edges are torn

Howling wind, there’s a howling wind
A wild wind that’s howling through all that we’ve built
Howling wind, there’s a howling wind

Time, slow as honey
Haven’t found a way I can move through
Oh, the days are so thick and so cruel
I am losing myself
Worry, oh, the worry
I wear on my face
As we struggle to keep the kids safe
A broken vase on the shelf

Howling wind, there’s a howling wind
A wild wind that’s howling through all that we’ve built
Howling wind, there’s a howling wind

And still, it is blowing
The orange sun burning through the smoke
Vultures circling til a man choked
There is war in the street
Is this how it ends?
Could it be this is how it begins?
Voices ricochet — shouting as one
On that wild howling wind

Howling wind, there’s a howling wind
A wild wind that’s howling through all that we’ve built
Howling wind, there’s a howling wind
