Woman Of The Wind

from Places You've Been by Chris Ho

lyrics

Way on over by the mountainside, a bright-eyed woman makes her way back inside. She spends her days in the afternoon light, tending to azaleas and pepper grinds.

I tell you if you've seen her then you've seen change; makes any man weak at the knees and ashamed, but I tell ya' she's the sweetest and realest thing I ever did see. Some nights I'd play to the stars, hoping she'd hear me sing:

"May you find your holy water, may you find some peace tonight. I want only to hold ya', and maybe to warn ya', though you already know the things that matter the most take the longest while. I know you already know, the things that matter the most are gonna' take some time."

And you can always tell when she's in her head, thinking up a dream or making them instead. Her laughing cracks me up but I'm cryin' 'cause I know she's in pain. She tells me 'bout the people who don't understand there's something inside all of us that's killin' us first hand, and every other day now she's breaking down.

But all the words I seem to know is "I promise it'll be fine," and "could I say to you before I fall asleep tonight, 'just close your eyes now, wild woman of the wind, just close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'til the morning begins," and;

"May you find your holy water, may you find some peace tonight. I want only to hold ya', and maybe to warn ya', though you already know the things that matter the most take the longest while. And while it may spell disaster, I won't care 'cause I've always loved ya', and I always knew you'd understand either way that I want only to hold ya', and give what's left of my heart ya'. Don't blow away my wild woman of the wind."
