lyrics

And the wind died down,
and the wind died down.
Stopped walking
so that I could hear the dying sound.
And the wind died down.

In that time of life
I had to cancel every plan.
And, knowing what I am,
was allowed to live again.
Allowed to live again!
I held the message in hand.
Standing on my dead land,
I sent it down the living stream.

And the wind died down,
and the wind died down.
Stopped everything
so I could hear the dying sound.
And the wind died down.

All around the world
was driving me to school.
My stomach got so bad, I couldn’t take it.
Had to remember why I was a fool
to recognize that I had grown to hate it.
Stagnant thoughts were all around.

When the wind died down,
when the wind died down.
Stopped crying
so that I could hear the dying sound.
And the wind died down.

On this plain, we can observe
what has been swept away.
In that whir, we can remember
getting out of pain.
And as the worries seem to wane,
you might remember times
when freedom reigned.
How they sound the same,
how they sound the same

as when the wind died down,
and the wind died down.
Stopped racing
so that I could hear the dying sound.
And the wind died down.

And it cut my ears,
and I disappeared.
But I’m never dead nor dim and bleeding.
Only love to hear that mild sound again.
Only love to give that mild sound respect.
