When The Wild Wind Blows

Have you heard what they said on the news today?

 Have you heard what is coming to us all?

 That the world as we know it will be coming to an end

 Have you heard, have you heard?



 He sees them in the distance where the darkened clouds roll

 He could feel tension in the atmosphere

 He would look in the mirror, see an old man now

 Does it matter they survive somehow?



 They said there's nothing can be done about the situation

 They said there's nothing you can do at all

 To sit and wait around for something to occur

 Did you know, did you know?



 As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows

 And wonders if they'll ever grow again

 The desperation of the situation getting graver

 Getting ready when the wild wind blows



 Have you seen what they said on the news today?

 Have you heard what they said about us all?

 Do you know what is happening to just every one of us

 Have you heard, have you heard?



 There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen

 There will be something that will light the sky

 That the world as we know it, it will never be the same

 Did you know, did you know?



 He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss

 Getting ready when the moment comes

 He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two

 Good to have because you never know



 They tell us nothing that we don't already know about

 They tell us nothing that is real at all

 They only fill us with the stuff that they want

 Did you know, did you know?



 He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day

 He's getting tired that'll do for now

 They are preparing for the very worst to come to them

 Getting ready when the wild wind blows



 He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down upside down

 He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face, saying grace

 Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind left behind

 Of a lifetime spent together long ago will be gone



 They've been preparing for some weeks now

 For when the crucial moment comes

 To take their refuge in the shelter

 Let them prepare for what will come



 They make a tea and sit there waiting

 They're in the shelter feeling snug

 Not long to wait for absolution

 Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait



 Can't believe all the lying,

 All the screams are denying

 That the moments of truth have begun



 Can't you see it on the TV?

 Don't believe them in the least bit

 Now the days of our ending have begun



 Say a prayer when it's all over

 Survivors unite all as one

 Got to try and help each other

 Got the will to overcome



 I can't believe all the lying,

 All the screens are denying

 That the moments of truth have begun



 Can't you see it on the TV?

 Don't believe them in the least bit

 Now the days of our ending have begun



 When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other

 Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes

 The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout,

 Just another when the wild wind blows...
