The wild wind is rising
It whispers my name
With promises made of tomorrow
As sure as the darkness will swallow the day
Where the wind blows, I will follow
The highway is calling
It dares me to fly
Out where the sky is still open
I'm only beginning to understand why
And surely my heart has been broken
There's a full moon above
Staring down from the sky
To a world that is captive and frozen
Imprisoned in chains 'til the day that we die
While freedom's a word that is spoken
The wild wind is rising
It whispers my name
With promises made of tomorrow
As sure as the darkness will swallow the day
Where the wind blows, I will follow
Oh, Mary, my love
Tell me what have you done?
You left me so cold in the morning
I swore to the stars you were always the one
And now I'm alone without warning
I came by myself
And I'll leave just the same
In search of a rhyme or a reason
Your tears cannot keep me from running away
When there's nothing left to believe in
The wild wind is rising
It whispers my name
With promises made of tomorrow
As sure as the darkness will swallow the day
Where the wind blows, I will follow...
