| Whirlwind
In D Minor
The whole town nearly
died
When rocks flew from
the sky
The stray dogs whined
and howled
At dark foreboding clouds
The mayor screamed and
fled
The priest hid under
his bed
Uprooted trees did spin
To the sound of a merciless
wind
Will you love me when
I'm old?
I'm still hoping I can
get that far
No one escaped the whirlwind's
hold
Except the jailer and
his pack of cards
And I sit outside watching
falling stars
Playing D minor chords
on a Spanish guitar
Well clothes blew through
the streets
And so did cinema seats
Their souls could not
be saved
I dug a thousand graves
Will you love me when
I'm old?
I'm still hoping I can
get that far
No one escaped the whirlwind's
hold
Except the jailer and
his pack of cards
And I sit outside watching
falling stars
Playing D minor chords
on a Spanish guitar
