[Verse 1]
The wind is a-whipping through the open door
Speaking of the sea and the rolling waves
Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now
Or struggling on the surface with a cry for help
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you
[Verse 2]
Twenty years ago, it was a howling storm
As the voice of a God from a great beyond
I was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark
With a hand on a Bible and a hand on my heart
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you
[Chorus]
Because all I have left is the voice of the wind
Blowing through the doors of our house
[Verse 3]
The sun was drying up the rainy sky
Shining gold in our sails and our hearts standing by
Remember what they're singing on their way to the sea:
"Goodbye, fare thee well, goodbye for me"
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you
[Verse 4]
Empty were the coffins and the house where we lived
As the grave that I dug by our place on the beach
How I wish the water could be poured out of the sea
So I could go and get you back ashore with me
Wish I could forget and let the years go by
Wish I could escape from my dreams of you
[Chorus]
Because all I have left is the voice of the wind
Blowing through the door...
Because all I have left is the voice of the wind
Blowing through the door... (one more time!)
All I have left is the voice of the wind
Blowing through the doors... of our house!
