When the Winds Blow Songtext

von Midge Ure

Common people living quietly in confusion
Information's giving quite a grand illusion
Hearts are beating, keeping time
To meet a deadline
Faces pressed againdt the pane
To watch a headline

CHORUS :
When the winds blow I will call
When the winds blow I will call
When the winds blow I will call you
We will stand and watch them fall

All our ships are sailing blindly under one sun
Sending signals, calling kindly, reaching no-one
Echoes sound, the shifting air
Of empires calling
Hold my hand, the shifting sand
Of empires falling

CHORUS

We confided, then decided not to follow
All the slogans, taunts and charges sound so hollow
With open minds across the borders
We have waited
But keeping faith within this race
Is complicated

When the winds blow I will call (2X)
When the winds blow I will call you
We will stand and watch them

When the winds blow I will call (2X)
When the winds blow I will call you
We will stand and watch them
Oh, we'll stand adn watch them
We will stand and watch them fall
