lyrics

Close To The Wind

They say the city aint as it used to be back in the seventies
They've kicked out the geniuses and the junkies
Now it's teenage millionaires and and yuppies
Well I came in from the North, left my cabin in the hills
And the leaves lay on the sidewalks like million dollar bills

I went to see the apothecary but he wouldn't let me in
Now Juliet is playing with the gypsy choir and Romeo is heartbroken
And I am sailing close to the wind

Sometimes it's hard to stand the loneliness and you wanna go insane
With so much fear and so much love flowing through your veins
Every heart is a cathedral where the angels go to pray
Even woman is my lover, they don't all see it that way

There's a darkness in the sky I think a storm is coming in
Everybody back inside something is happening
We are sailing close to the wind
