(Title: Voices on the Wind) (Performed by Little Feat) (Written by Paul Barrere, Bill Payne, Craig Fuller, and Fred Tackett) (on the cd Let It Roll)
Standing by the ocean
Watch it tear away the shore
Glide out upon the desert
The horizon is the door
And though your voice is shouting
Above the wind it can't be heard
Drop all sense of reason
It's there you'll find your worth
And though you are surrounded
Feeling quite alone Dm A# C G D There's a light to guide you home
(chorus)
If you stand with your face
To the wind off the water
At the point of land's end
Where the ocean begins
Look to the memory
Of the ones gone before
The light and the meaning of
The Voices on the Wind.
Searching for safe passage As you knock on every door You still can hear the howling Of the mongrel dogs of war You call out for some comfort Seeking shelter from the night A raging rain's upon you Feeling tired of the fight And though you are surrounded Feeling quite alone There's a light to guide you home
(chorus)
Their words carry over water And fall back down to earth What follows is the silence As you contemplate their worth A vision comes before you But the meaning's still unclear Standing at the threshold As you watch it disappear And though you are surrounded Feeling quite alone There's a light to guide you home
(chorus)
