David Byrne
Listening Wind
[Verse 1]
Mojique sees his village
From a nearby hill
Mojique thinks of days
Before Americans came
He serves, the foreigners in growing numbers
He sees, the foreigners in fancy houses
He dreams, of days that he can still remember, now
[Verse 2]
Mojique holds a package
In his quivering hands
Mojique sends the package
To the American man
Softly, he glides along the streets and alleys
Up comes, the wind that makes them run for cover
He feels, the time is surely now or never, more
[Chorus]
The wind in my heart, the wind in my heart
The dust in my head, the dust in my head
The wind in my heart, the wind in my heart comes to
Drive them away, drive them away
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
The wind in my heart, the wind in my heart
The dust in my head, the dust in my head
The wind in my heart, the wind in my heart comes to
Drive them away, drive them away
[Verse 3]
Mojique buys his equipment
In the market place
Mojique plants devices
Through the Free Trade Zone
He feels, the wind is lifting up his people
He calls, the wind to guide him on his mission
He knows, his friend the wind is always standing, by
[Verse 4]
Mojique smells the wind
That comes from far away
Mojique waits for news
In a quiet place
He feels, the presence of the wind beside him
He feels, the power of the past behind him
He has, the knowledge of the wind to guide him, on
[Chorus]
The wind in my heart, the wind in my heart
The dust in my head, the dust in my head
The wind in my heart, the wind in my heart comes to
Drive them away, drive them away
The wind in my heart, the wind in my heart
The dust in my head, the dust in my head
The wind in my heart, the wind in my heart comes to
Drive them away
