I`ll Wind Blowing — текст песни (mott the hoople)

(Ian Hunter)

Across the naked desert
That housed a million hurts
But I heard a voice call unto me
"Beware", is what it said
You`re asking all the questions
That is dangerous to do
For you ain`t got any answers
And your time is nearly through

There`s an ill wind blowing
From the west unto the east
And I see my world going
From a beauty to a beast
And the time is getting nearer to 1974
There`s an ill wind blowing
And it`s blowing us, blowing us,
Yes it`s blowing us off the shore

And the fortunes fading from my face
And I feel a thousand fears
How many know that illness grows
It never disappears
And I wonder when the Medicine Man
Knows that they are sane
They qualified in genocide
And specialise in pain

There`s an ill wind blowing
From the west unto the east
And I see my world going
From a beauty to a beast
And the time is getting nearer to 1974
There`s an ill wind blowing
And it`s blowing us, blowing us,
Yes it`s blowing us off the shore

There`s an ill wind blowing
From the west unto the east
And if my redeemer lay there
Then he`s fighting with a Priest
And the time is getting nearer
To the opening of the door
There`s an ill wind blowing
And it`s blowing us, blowing us,
Yes it`s blowing us off the shore
