And it's Emtearing up the Amskies

AmPeople talk in whispers
EmPeople hide their Ameyes
AmThe wind blows ever stronger
And it Emcovers up their Amcries
They Dclose down the CshuttersG  
They bar the Ddoor
The Amwind taps at the window
EmLike a painted Amwhore, the Emwhore

It's cold along the coast tonight

The wind is on the rise

There's a storm come up from Africa

And it's tearing up the skies

The sand from the Sahara

Cuts deep into your skin

Close your eyes so you cannot see

Em Am Em

What's carried on the wind, the wind

C D Am Em Am Em Am

What's carried on the wind

[Verse]

People talk in whispers

Em Am

People hide their eyes

The wind blows ever stronger

Em Am

And it covers up their cries

D C G

They close down the shutters

They bar the door

The wind taps at the window

Em Am Em

Like a painted whore, the whore

Like a painted whore

[Instrumental]

I will hold you close tonight

And faithful to the end, the end

When the final bell is tolled

Em Am

Will we shake in fear?

Or raise our glass just one more time

Pretend we didn't hear

We think that we're immortal

Somehow the song lives on

Maybe whistled in the wind

When everything is gone, is gone

C D Am

When everything is gone
