Which Way The Wind Blows Lyrics - David Wilcox

There's a time only truth buys 

In the early small hours of the morning 

When you brushed the sleep from my eyes 

And told me stories 

Electricity 

The day scrapes the sidewalk 

Sugar turns to salt 

Talk is cheap 

A half-remembered glance from a dirty window 

I want to take a little walk 

In the cool night air and see 

Which way the wind blows 

There's another side to the city 

A life within a life unknown 

Like blood in the veins of a body it flows 

Down the alley nobody knows 

Checkpoint charlie 

Eyes from a garbage can 

Reveal the man 

Is on his toes 

I want to take a little walk 

In the cool night air and see 

Which way the wind blows 

I want to take a little walk 

In the cool night air and see 

Which way the wind blows 

She gives a sky feeling to the night 

Waiting 'til you weaken for a moment 

She'll buy the diamonds 

If you'll buy the pearls 

For the moment 

Electricity 

The night lights a candle 

Love turns to fire 

I want to take a little walk 

In the cool night air and see 

Which way the wind blows
