<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
The wind pulls me around<br><br />
and everything it touches turns weak<br><br />
An antique or an eyelash stuck to your cheek<br><br />
The paper thin skin of a crowd chasing you down<br><br />
a long and dead-end trail<br><br />
with a guilt no alibi can curtail<br />
<br />
The world is held together by the wind<br><br />
That blows through Gena Rowland's hair<br />
<br />
Land ahoy - fill my weak lungs with this joy<br><br />
Dizzy on the deck I hope I last until we land<br><br />
With an envelope burning a hole in my hand<br><br />
Bearing the names of the winners who walked away<br><br />
From the games that the slaves love to play<br><br />
to replace the air and the sea<br><br />
Leaving you no way to fly to me<br />
<br />
The world is held together by the wind<br><br />
That blows through Gena Rowland's hair<br />
<br />
Through the window<br><br />
the warm summer air does a two-step<br><br />
I wish there was some way I could keep it<br><br />
And clear away the Mission Street in my head that<br><br />
Keeps this watery weariness in our bed and<br><br />
Sets up more windmills that I'll waste my time missing<br><br />
When it should just be your lips that I'm kissing<br />
<br />
Don't tell me that you don't hear<br><br />
The clock ticking on the shelf by our bed it's near<br><br />
There's a light turning green just like fear<br><br />
There's a light that turns green<br><br />
and leaves us without a prayer<br />
<br />
The world is held together by the wind<br><br />
That blows through Gena Rowland's hair<br />
