The Wind Blew Strong

I found love on a rainy summer day
Just as I turned the page it blew him my way
The wind blows strong on the north sea coast
Where kites collide and entangle themselves

He was casual and he was cool
With a gun in his pants to play by his rule
There ain't nothing in this world that I wouldn't do
I would even kill you if he asked me to

It was going to be the day, our big breakaway
We'd flee this scene to somewhere far away
There was one last deal to negotiate
At the end of the pier where young lovers celebrate

We drove to the country where lived a girl he once knew
In a battered old Mustang from nineteen seventy two
To gather belongings, something buried under a tree
And a bouquet of wild flowers for me

He gave me instructions and said wait in the car
The motor kept running but we didn't get very far
A shotgun blast pierced through the night
And a silhouette tumbled into a raging sea

I run hard to the pier clutching flowers in my hand
In a gesture of dispair i cast them to my man
And the wind blew strong on that long summer night
Turning another page of my brocken life
