David Wilcox (Canadian) - Which Way the Wind Blows lyrics

rate me

There's a time only truth buys

In the early small hours of the morning

When you brushed the sleep from my eyes

And told me stories

Electricity

The day scrapes the sidewalk

Sugar turns to salt

Talk is cheap

A half-remembered glance from a dirty window

I want to take a little walk

In the cool night air and see

Which way the wind blows

There's another side to the city

A life within a life unknown

Like blood in the veins of a body it flows

Down the alley nobody knows

Checkpoint charlie

Eyes from a garbage can

Reveal the man

Is on his toes

I want to take a little walk

In the cool night air and see

Which way the wind blows

I want to take a little walk

In the cool night air and see

Which way the wind blows

She gives a sky feeling to the night

Waiting 'til you weaken for a moment

She'll buy the diamonds

If you'll buy the pearls

For the moment

Electricity

The night lights a candle

Love turns to fire

I want to take a little walk

In the cool night air and see

Which way the wind blows

There's another time to the city

A time within a time undone

You can untie a knot

You can break a deal

You can sell what you bought

A cut will heal

A bone will mend

A road will bend

Street light blinding

Headlight shining

Take a little walk

In the cool night air and see

Which way the wind blows
