Bridge

The Wind Cries

The Wind Cries

Sitting all alone, I watch the clock up on the wall

As it ticks away the seconds of the day

And as each second passes by

I hear the wind, as it cries

Today, today

Walking to the window, I feel her presence in the room

I can’t stop the shivers up my spine

And as my sorrow grows inside

I hear the wind as it cries

It’s time, it’s time

I haven’t felt this lonely

Since I can’t remember when

I look around at four dark walls

I wish I had a friend

But she was the only friend

In this city, I had

But now she’s gone

It’s plain to see, I’m sad

Looking out the window I see the city down below

People going everywhere at one time

I wish that they would stop for me

Maybe stop and talk to me

Sometime, sometime

I open up the window and wonder if this is right

Then I remember that night, I begin to cry

And as I drift to eternity

I hear the wind as it cries

Good-bye, good-bye
