: The motorway won't take a horse The wanderer has found a course to follow The traveller unpacked his bags for the last time The troubadour cut off
across the river mouth In skewed ascension With no destination Like this lone bachelor in me This constant yearning For great love and learning For the wind
: Wind in the wires It?s the sigh of wild electricity I?m on the edge of a cliff Surpassing Comfort and security But here comes a gale A crippling anger

Wind in the wires Electricity, on the edge of a cliff Moments of transcendence Sweet and transitory But here comes a rage A crippling anger Sea birds
Wind in the wires It?s the sigh of wild electricity I?m on the edge of a cliff Surpassing Comfort and security But here comes a gale A crippling anger
Wind in the wires Electricty On the edge of a cliff Moments of transcedence Sweet and transitory But here comes a rage A crippling anger Sea birds are
