When The Wild Wind Blows
Have you heard what they said on the news today?Have you heard what is coming to us all?That the world as we know it will be coming to an endHave you heard, have you heard?
He sees them in the distance where the darkened clouds rollHe could feel tension in the atmosphereHe would look in the mirror, see an old man nowDoes it matter they survive somehow?
They said there's nothing can be done about the situationThey said there's nothing you can do at allTo sit and wait around for something to occurDid you know, did you know?
As he stares across the garden looking at the meadowsAnd wonders if they'll ever grow againThe desperation of the situation getting graverGetting ready when the wild wind blows
Have you seen what they said on the news today?Have you heard what they said about us all?Do you know what is happening to just every one of usHave you heard, have you heard?
There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seenThere will be something that will light the skyThat the world as we know it, it will never be the sameDid you know, did you know?
He carries everything into the shelter not a fussGetting ready when the moment comesHe has enough supplies to last them for a year or twoGood to have because you never know
They tell us nothing that we don't already know aboutThey tell us nothing that is real at allThey only fill us with the stuff that they wantDid you know, did you know?
He's nearly finished with the preparations for the dayHe's getting tired that'll do for nowThey are preparing for the very worst to come to themGetting ready when the wild wind blows
He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down upside downHe sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face, saying graceRemember times they had, they flash right through his mind left behindOf a lifetime spent together long ago will be gone
They've been preparing for some weeks nowFor when the crucial moment comesTo take their refuge in the shelterLet them prepare for what will come
They make a tea and sit there waitingThey're in the shelter feeling snugNot long to wait for absolutionDon't make a fuss; just sit and wait
Can't believe all the lying,All the screams are denyingThat the moments of truth have begun
Can't you see it on the TV?Don't believe them in the least bitNow the days of our ending have begun
Say a prayer when it's all overSurvivors unite all as oneGot to try and help each otherGot the will to overcome
I can't believe all the lying,All the screens are denyingThat the moments of truth have begun
Can't you see it on the TV?Don't believe them in the least bitNow the days of our ending have begun
When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each otherTheir tins of poison laying near by their clothesThe day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout,Just another when the wild wind blows...
