Ezra Furman
If Only The Wind Would Blow Me Away
[Chorus]
If only the wind would blow me away
I'd be leavin' on my way
If only the wind would blow me away
Then I'd be gone
[Verse 1]
All the hate I've harbored
Spending nights in armor
Cruising 'round these neighborhoods I've known
I don't mind the darkness
If the light is harshest
Shines on through and cuts me to the bone
[Chorus]
If only the wind would blow me away
I'd be thankful on that day
If only the wind would blow me away
Then I'd be gone
[Verse 2]
All these young folks dying
Sick to death of crying
Walkin' through the brutal autumn leaves
Lost the knack for sleeping
Nameless fear keeps creeping
Broken phone that calls but can't receive
[Chorus]
If only the wind would blow me away
I'd be leavin' on my way
If only the wind would blow me away
Then I'd be gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
If only the wind would blow me away
I'd be leavin' on my way
If only the wind would blow me away
Then I'd be gone
[Outro]
I'd be gone
I'd be gone
