If only it was gentle
Like a breeze in mid September
Brush my skin with hints of what's to come
And it wasn't always sudden
And I knew from which direction
It didn't always hit me all at once
I could handle all your weather
But I'm tired of seeking shelter from your storms
So take your winds of change
And blow on blow on
No I don't need your thunder
Your dark clouds and your rain
I need to feel your sunshine
For longer than a day
And I'm tired of being the tears inside
The eye of your hurricane
So take your winds of change
And blow on
If I could I'd keep forgiving
Keep picking up the pieces
Build us up to watch you tear us down
But love's not brick and mortar
And hearts aren't made of granite
And mine breaks every time I look around
Alone there in the wreckage
Your sudden gusts of anger leave behind
So take your winds of change
And blow on blow on
No I don't need your thunder
Your dark clouds and your rain
I need to feel your sunshine
For longer than a day
And I'm tired of being the tears inside
The eye of your hurricane
So take your winds of change
And blow on
Far enough away so I can exhale and heal
Remember just how beautiful
Calm stillness feels
So take your winds of change
And blow on blow on
No I don't need your thunder
Your dark clouds and your rain
I need to feel your sunshine
For longer than a day
And I'm tired of being the tears inside
The eye of your hurricane
So take your winds of change
Oh take your winds of change
Oh take your winds of change
And blow on
I can't keep forgiving
Keep forgiving
Keep forgiving you
