Paragraph Lyric
there's a north wind coming in
and there's a west wind coming in
and there's an east wind coming in
and there's a strong wind blowing in from the south
and there's a sweet metallic taste in my mouth.
there's a dead feeling lingering over the wind.

and there's a one-way ticket in my hot little hand
and I'm kissing your eyelids and I'm going to japan.

there's life and liberty on my tongue
and there's a dead silence where the wind-chimes hung
and on some mountain somewhere in the world it's snowing
but here in the fields there's not a thing growing.
maybe next year, ya know, there is a way of knowing.
there's wind coming in from all directions.
there's a coat on my shoulders--midnight connections.

and I'm kissing you and leaving you behind in the sand.
I'm holding you a while then I'm going to japan.
there's a north wind coming in    and there's a west wind coming in    and there's an east wind coming in    and there's a strong wind blowing in from the south    and there's a sweet metallic taste in my mouth.    there's a dead feeling lingering over the wind.       and there's a one-way ticket in my hot little hand    and I'm kissing your eyelids and I'm going to japan.       there's life and liberty on my tongue    and there's a dead silence where the wind-chimes hung    and on some mountain somewhere in the world it's snowing    but here in the fields there's not a thing growing.    maybe next year, ya know, there is a way of knowing.    there's wind coming in from all directions.    there's a coat on my shoulders--midnight connections.       and I'm kissing you and leaving you behind in the sand.    I'm holding you a while then I'm going to japan.
