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, or maybe to warn ya
Though you already know things that matter the most take the longest while
I know you already know, 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 crying 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 killing 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
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
May you find your holy water
May you find some peace tonight
I want only to hold ya, or maybe to warn ya
Though you already know 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 to ya
Don't blow away my wild woman of the wind
