lyrics

before Man could have his right
the wind blew the notes apart
and as day shift to night
it became an ill place
wet and cold
Man couldn't say, what was wrong
he hadn't found the place to look
it blew to home

he climbed cliff Montserrat
and listened how it ought to go

he took a little earth in his mouth
chewed it and wished he was old
to be converted into sound
and then by measure
he would fall
and he let his body fall
"Blowing wind
come, wind, come lend a hand
to Be"

he saw through the rocks
the rocks and the sea
the hymn was sound
he could see
