[Verse 1]
Do you hear the whisper of the wind?
Coarse just like sandpaper on skin
Listen for the echoes of the clouds
Their hollow voice is all around
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The smoky skies tell me
There’s no escape from mediocrity
I’m hanging by a thread
And no one’s there to say “it’s all in your head”
[Chorus]
But if you hold me closely
And whisper softly in my ear
That everything would be ok
I might believe you
But if you listen closely
The wind’s so lonely I can hear
It’s calling out my name
It beckons you and me the same
[Verse 2]
Do you hear the murmurs of the trees?
Emptiness masked as rustling leaves
Stuck in bed watching time pass me by
All sounds converge on my lonely mind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I badly want to believe
That there's a different ending to this story
Than what the void tells me
Every night when it’s too hot to sleep
[Chorus]
But if you hold me closely
And whisper softly in my ear
That everything would be ok
I might believe you
But if you listen closely
The wind’s so lonely I can hear
It’s calling out my name
It beckons you and me the same
[Chorus]
But if you hold me closely
And whisper softly in my ear
That everything would be ok
I might believe you
But if you listen closely
The wind’s so lonely I can hear
It’s calling out my name
It beckons you and me the same
Do you hear the whisper of the wind?
Coarse just like sandpaper on skin
Listen for the echoes of the clouds
Their hollow voice is all around
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The smoky skies tell me
There’s no escape from mediocrity
I’m hanging by a thread
And no one’s there to say “it’s all in your head”
[Chorus]
But if you hold me closely
And whisper softly in my ear
That everything would be ok
I might believe you
But if you listen closely
The wind’s so lonely I can hear
It’s calling out my name
It beckons you and me the same
[Verse 2]
Do you hear the murmurs of the trees?
Emptiness masked as rustling leaves
Stuck in bed watching time pass me by
All sounds converge on my lonely mind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I badly want to believe
That there's a different ending to this story
Than what the void tells me
Every night when it’s too hot to sleep
[Chorus]
But if you hold me closely
And whisper softly in my ear
That everything would be ok
I might believe you
But if you listen closely
The wind’s so lonely I can hear
It’s calling out my name
It beckons you and me the same
[Chorus]
But if you hold me closely
And whisper softly in my ear
That everything would be ok
I might believe you
But if you listen closely
The wind’s so lonely I can hear
It’s calling out my name
It beckons you and me the same
