Richard Thompson - Mystery Wind lyrics

Driving rain, close up tight

Don't leave a crack for the rain to get in

Don't leave a hole for the mystery wind

>From some other time, from some other place

Mystery wind make a fool say grace

Lord above how great thou art

Mystery wind blow right through your heart

Whistling down from out of this world

Take an honest man away from his girl

Stir up trouble in a married man's bed

Make you say things better left unsaid

It's a cruel wind, screams and moans

Don7t know where from, don't know where it goes

Rustling the leaves around your door

Cold cold fingers through the cracks in the floor

Can't you smell it, you can almost feel it

Mystery wind, you just can't see it

Foul your water, steal your bread

Wake up things better left for dead

Mystery wind are you strong enough

To fight for your right when the time gets tough

Plague and hunger and burning rain

Too many good men blown away

By the mystery wind
