Song Description

Whirlwind is an upbeat folk/rock song about a down and out man in a pivotal moment in his life, returning to his long lost love - or attempting to - with all the promises of a man on a mission.

Lyrics

crazy wind a blowin
bus stop trash floating round
seven years of running
hoping I can settle down

the heat of dusk is closing in
and it's more than I can take
when your body's in this town
you know I just can't stay away

I've been cold and lonely
endless nights spent without sleep
holding on to thoughts of holding
you so tenderly

many nights I've spent in jail
where I've prayed my soul to keep
but the daylight breaks on through
and I'm back out on the street

so I've changed
yes I've changed

I've been a man imprisoned by your tender loving charm
I've been alone and lonely for your tender loving arms
and dreaming of the day that will see your face again
I'll place your crown on sacred ground
and shake your world around

take me back I'll take you
anywhere you want to go
we'll take the road that's traveled less
than anyone would dare to go

lately I've been dreaming of
warm blue oceans and blue skies
but with these four walls closing in
I can only visualize

been so long I don't remember anyone but you
just your sweet sweet memory
you know it always pulled me through

now so close to breaking
out of this long desperate life
well here's the plan and I'm the man
who wants to live to love his wife

We'll be free
You and me

your face is the sun
the warm lingers on
the moment has come
to rise
from mountains we'll sing
and chase down our dreams
like a crazy whirlwind
coming down from the skies

I guess I had to lose it all to be a better man
You can see it in my eyes you know I do the best I can
You've always been the woman who can see inside of me
I've always been the kind of man who knows how to set you free
