Mystery Wind
Richard Thompson
Mystery wind blowing tonight
Driving rain, close up tight
Don't leave a crack for the rain to get in
Don't leave a hole for the mystery wind
>From some other time, from some other place
Mystery wind make a fool say grace
Lord above how great thou art
Mystery wind blow right through your heart
Whistling down from out of this world
Take an honest man away from his girl
Stir up trouble in a married man's bed
Make you say things better left unsaid
It's a cruel wind, screams and moans
Don7t know where from, don't know where it goes
Rustling the leaves around your door
Cold cold fingers through the cracks in the floor
Can't you smell it, you can almost feel it
Mystery wind, you just can't see it
Foul your water, steal your bread
Wake up things better left for dead
Mystery wind are you strong enough
To fight for your right when the time gets tough
Plague and hunger and burning rain
Too many good men blown away
By the mystery wind
