Sixteen Hooves

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing

In the night the shadows play

I am but a window looking

Outwards as my curtains sway

I know, I know, I know they're coming

Sixteen hooves like distant rain

Drip and drop and drip and dropping

Sliding down my window pane

I know, I know

It come, it go

Smoking tendrils from the mountain

Roll down heavy on the wind

Say we leave this place tomorrow

Say we never come again

I hear, I hear, reverberating

Sixteen hooves inside a clock

Tick and tock and tick and tocking

On my window comes a knock

I know, I know

It come, it go

Nothing certain, but this burden

Drawing outlines on a cloud

I'm a window, I'm the wind, oh...

I see where this is going, Let me out!

Oh, the wind, the wind is formless

In its fragrance, truth, it lies

Sixteen hooves are now upon me

As the moon shuts all its eyes

I feel I feel I'm looking outward

But I really can't be sure

Clip and clop and clip and clopping

I fly open, in they pour

I know, I know

It come, it go

Drip and drop and drip and dropping

Tick and tock and tick and tocking

Clip and clop and clip and clopping

Kick and stomp and kick and stomping

STOP!
