Lucinda Williams I Envy The Wind written by Lucinda Williams
Db Bbm Ebm Ab
Db Bbm
I envy the wind that whispers in your ear
Ebm Ab
That howlsthrough the winter that freezes your fingers
Db Bbm
It moves through your hair and cracks your lips
Ebm Ab Db
It chills you to the bone I envy the wind
Db Bbm
I envy the rain that falls on your face
Ebm Ab
That wets your eyelashes and dampens your skin
Eb Bbm
And touches your tongue and soaks through your shirt
Ebm Ab Db
And drips down your back I envy the rain
Db Bbm
I envy the sun that brightens your summer
Ebm Ab
And warms your body and holds you in heat
Db Bbm
It makes you days longer and makes you hot
Ebm Ab Db
It makes you sweat I envy the sun
Db Bbm
I envy the wind I envy the rain
Ebm Ab Db
I envy the sun I envy the wind
