The Living and the Breathing Wind Lyrics

Look at all the seasons and the feelings and the moods

Think of all the people that our love affair includes

We are bound together like the morning and the evening

We are bound together with the living and the breathing wind 

Some things happen that shouldn't, my child

Like the snapping turtle snapping while the turtle killer smiled

And the sun went pale, and the day was drained of meaning

We are bound together with the living and the breathing wind 

Listen to the sound of the cat-bird's call

He sings just like a cat, but the cat won't sing at all

When you leave me I will take my sorrow from your leaving

We are bound together with the living and the breathing wind

I am not the captain nor the bosun nor the crewman

In this ship's kind heart, I am a number and a human

Should my ship go down, I leave my love on land to grieve me

We are bound together with the living and the breathing wind 

I'm not in any trouble, so I'm not in any hurry

I've got no time to lose, so I have no time to worry

For the game goes on, though I gamble odd or even

We are bound together with the living and the breathing wind 

One man had no cards to spread upon the table

One man turned his back and left the Tower of Babel

He spoke not a word, but his eyes were straight and even

We are bound together with the living and the breathing wind

Look at all the seasons and the feelings and the moods

Think of all the people that our love affair includes

We are bound together like the morning and the evening

We are bound together with the living and the breathing wind
