Midge Ure - When The Winds Blow Lyrics
Common people living quietly in confusionInformation's giving quite a grand illusionHearts are beating, keeping timeTo meet a deadlineFaces pressed against the paneTo watch a headlineWhen the winds blow I will callWhen the winds blow I will callWhen the winds blow I will call youWe will stand and watch them fallAll our ships are sailing blindlyUnder one sunSending signals, calling kindlyReaching no-oneEchoes sound the shifting airOf empires callingHold my hand, the shifting sandOf empires fallingWhen the winds blow I will callWhen the winds blow I will callWhen the winds blow I will call youWe will stand and watch them fallOh we'll stand and watch them fallWe confided, then decided not to followAll the slogans, taunts and chargesSound so hollowWith open minds across the borderWe have waitedBut keeping place within this race is complicatedWhen the winds blow I will callWhen the winds blow I will callWhen the winds blow I will call youWe will stand and watch themWhen the winds blow I will callWhen the winds blow I will callWhen the winds blow I will call youWe will stand and watch them fallOh we'll stand and watch them fallWords and music: M. Ure/D. Mitchell
