I don't know nothing, nothing today
|
Whether to leave or to stay
|
'Cause underneath sorrow, underneath fear
|
There's nothing that's keeping me here
|
|
'Cause I'm a zephyr on the inside
|
And it's a hard ride when you feel yourself tied down
|
Hide-and-earth bound
|
But there's no tether, on a zephyr
|
|
I tried to be constant just like a star
|
I tried to be steady and yar
|
But the storms keep breaking over my head
|
I'm aching for blue skies instead
|
|
'Cause I'm a zephyr on the inside
|
And it's a hard ride when you feel your heart tied down
|
Hide-and-earth bound
|
But there's no tether
|
I'm a zephyr
|
|
All of the wings I've ridden back home to you
|
All the things I've given I've wanted to
|
All that you see has always belonged to you
|
Except for the wind:
|
|
Forever and after, that's if we're charmed
|
You've got to hold on with more than these arms
|
Because love is all there is and time is just sand
|
And I might just slip through your hands
|
|
'Cause I'm a zephyr on the inside
|
And it's a hard ride when you feel your life tied down
|
Hide-and-earth bound but there's no tether
|
I'm a zephyr on the inside
|
And it's a hard ride when you feel yourself tied down
|
Hide-and-earth bound but there's no tether
|
On a zephyr
|
