lyrics

howling wind
i hear you blowing there
its like you just don't care
your messing up my hair
it's like you just don't care at all

city lights
burn without asking why
you're my electric hive
i was one then
i multiplied

oh father,
while i raise up your grandchild are you out there watching?
when we were so small
i took for granted that you'd always be there just for us
just for us

and now momma's dressed in black
cause her man ain't coming back
and the clouds form a halo around the sun
and when my child asks if my father's coming back
i will tell him no and that all things must pass
i will tell him no and that all things must pass

howling wind
i hear you blowing there
it's like you just don't care
you're messing up my hair
it's like you just don't care at all.
