The Sight Of The Wind

Lyrics for The Sight Of The Wind

We could hear it Before the shutters were open The wind on the beach Then we found Miniature sand dunes On the concrete of the balcony And a dead leaf, zig zagging Scratching an urgent message in Sanskrit Before hitching a ride on a frisky gust A plastic bag caught by a rail Rearing to go In such a flap we see it free To join a page of last week's news Racing high above the undulating beach And the invisible flying sand Casting a fast moving shadow Stroking the beach clean Yesterday's footprints vanished Replaced by smooth rippling Wave formations, a copy of the sea No one walking Not even the dogs A day for the rubbish to dance
