Mott The Hoople - I'll Wind Blowing lyrics

(ian hunter) Across the naked desert That housed a million hurts But i heard a voice call unto me "beware", is what it said You're asking all the questions That is dangerous to do For you ain't got any answers And your time is nearly through There's an ill wind blowing From the west unto the east And i see my world going From a beauty to a beast And the time is getting nearer to 1974 There's an ill wind blowing And it's blowing us, blowing us, Yes it's blowing us off the shore And the fortunes fading from my face And i feel a thousand fears How many know that illness grows It never disappears And i wonder when the medicine man Knows that they are sane They qualified in genocide And specialise in pain There's an ill wind blowing From the west unto the east And i see my world going From a beauty to a beast And the time is getting nearer to 1974 There's an ill wind blowing And it's blowing us, blowing us, Yes it's blowing us off the shore There's an ill wind blowing From the west unto the east And if my redeemer lay there Then he's fighting with a priest And the time is getting nearer To the opening of the door There's an ill wind blowing And it's blowing us, blowing us, Yes it's blowing us off the shore (see you later)
