Strong Wind - Graham Parker

    Have you seen her run through the wild things
    Dropping behind her the child's things That she'll no longer need
    Scattering like seeds they are discarded then
    Nothing can give them a life again
    They're comfort only when she bleeds

    And strong winds are blowing through her hair
    I reach out to touch it but it's not there
    Strong winds are beating at her door
    Even with it locked they come back stronger than before

    And when she takes a walk into the early morning
    Somewhere inside you an early warning bell begins to ring
    And in the darkest night she takes a telescope
    Looks through the wrong end and loses hope
    Pointing at the nearest thing

    And strong winds are blowing through her hair
    I reach, out to touch it but it's not there
    Strong winds are beating down our door
    Shaping our lives we never know what for

    And when she takes her place in the furniture
    The crystal vase and the rocking chair The chintz and china cups
    Then it's all reduced to a bill of sale
    She disappears with the merchandise
    You understand that well

    And strong winds are blowing through her hair
    I reach out to touch it but it's not there
    Strong winds are beating at her door
    Even with it locked they come back stronger than before
    stronger than before stronger than before
