The Weather Vane
English source:
Jeremy Sams
The weather vane on my darling’s house
Is spinning, spinning wild and free
For just a moment, in my madness
I swear that it was mocking me
I should have heeded what it was saying
A warning sign for passers-by
That in this house hearts are constantly changing
That hope is a dream, that love is a lie
I see that winds of change are blowing
Not just on the roof, but deep inside
Why give a damn what I am feeling?
Your child is now a wealthy bride
Oh yes, the winds of change are blowing
Not just on the roof, but deep inside
Why give a damn what I am feeling?
Why give a damn what I am feeling?
Your child is now a wealthy bride
Your child is now a wealthy bride
Is spinning, spinning wild and free
For just a moment, in my madness
I swear that it was mocking me
I should have heeded what it was saying
A warning sign for passers-by
That in this house hearts are constantly changing
That hope is a dream, that love is a lie
I see that winds of change are blowing
Not just on the roof, but deep inside
Why give a damn what I am feeling?
Your child is now a wealthy bride
Oh yes, the winds of change are blowing
Not just on the roof, but deep inside
Why give a damn what I am feeling?
Why give a damn what I am feeling?
Your child is now a wealthy bride
Your child is now a wealthy bride
