jake heggie - the wind lyrics

[tenor]
were i the wind, i’d blow no more on such a wicked, miserable world. i’d crawl somewhere to a cave, and slink there

[choir]
evil is unspectacular and always human
and shares our bread and eats at our own table
and we are introduced to goodness every day
even in drawing-rooms among a crowd of faults;
he has a name like billy and is almost perfect
but wears a stammer like decoration:
and every time they meet the same thing has to happen;
it is the evil that is helpless like a lover
and has to pick a quarrel and succeeds
and both are openly destroyed before our eyes

[tenor]
and yet, ‘tis a n-ble and heroic thing, the wind. who ever conquered it? in every fight it has the last and bitterest blow

[choir]
how wild the winds blow!

[all]
a vile wind that has no doubt blown ere this through prison corridors, and wards of hospitals, and ventilated them, and comes blowing hither as innocent as fleeces

[tenor]
out upon it! – it’s tainted
