Cry To The Winds

      I hear the writhing in the night,
      Blowing, blowing
      To the growling of plea;
      Casting a spell as eerie
      In the light.

      Let alone myself
      To looking
      One world woven with woe,
      Blindness, blindness
      And seeing.

      I feel the wounding in the air,
      Breathing, breathing
      To the howling of pain;
      Cradling dreams that once did reign
      In the lair.

      Let alone myself
      To list'ning
      One world woven with woe,
      Deafness, deafness
      And hearing.

      I see the warring in the day,
      Blurring, blurring
      To the sounding of prayer;
      Caressing as a whisper
      In the hay.

      Let alone myself
      To sensing
      One world woven with woe,
      Numbness, numbness,
      And feeling.
