Piquant Lane

Verse 1 Why do the flowers die Since you no longer pass? Thunder has roared itself hoarse, And sorrow shrouds my bed. Why do my pebbles melt In streams you never cross? Why is it on your path Wind tears the roof from my home? Chorus Wind tears the roof from my home. Though mud may cloak your feet, Darling… enter my heart, Come deep into my heart. Verse 2 Why does the sun lie hidden Until you rise from sleep? Night finds its way in early When you reach out to touch the dew. Why do the dried-up springs Flow, then clot within my eyes When you won’t come close to me? Chorus Wind tears the roof from my home. Though mud may cloak your feet, Darling… enter my heart, Come deep into my heart. Verse 3 Why do all the sea’s waves Keep searching for a shore On sands that know your footsteps, To give their thanks to heaven? Why does each wind that blows Turn toward your home To draw breath from your breathing When life lies on a stretcher? Chorus Wind tears the roof from my home. Though mud may cloak your feet, Darling… enter my heart, Come deep into my heart. Outro Wind tears the roof from my home. Though mud may cloak your feet, Darling… enter my heart, And see how much I love you.
