Blown Away

I woke up this morning at an unusual time

I could have sworn there were tears in my eyes

I rolled out of bed, I rearranged my head

It didn't seem to make a difference anyhow

But today I'll try to get myself upright

I'll put on my shoes, walk to the door before I get outside

In blows the wind and all my words get blown away

Yeah, all my words get blown away

Lately I've found I've taken to walking around

With a permanent cloud hanging over me

I got lost on the back roads, I've been making wrong turns

And losing myself by degrees

I've been drinking a bit of wine, slipping down mountains

I've fallen under a curse

And sometimes I rise in the middle of the night

I scream but nothing gets heard

Because all my words get blown away

All my words get blown away

Of the three kinds of luck, I could have written a book

And bled between every line

Every word from every dumb poem

Doesn't feel like much use to me now

"And too late," she cries, "No, I can't wait forever"

I mumble an answer, I listen for the crash

Of the storm from the other side

Then all my words get blown away

Yeah, all my words get blown away

I say all my words get blown away

Yeah, all my words get blown away
