[Verse 1]
It's only the wind blowing litter all around
Just a little wind and the trees are falling down
There's nobody crying, that was yesterday
Inside we're all smiling, everything's okay
[Verse 2]
It's only the wind blowing cans along the street
Someone's dustbin lid playing havoc with the peace
There's nobody hiding behind a locked door
And no one's been lying, 'cause we don't lie any more
[Verse 3]
It's only the wind, how it takes you by surprise
Suddenly begins, then before you know it dies
My hands are not shaking, I don't touch a drop
You must be mistaken, I know when to stop
[Chorus]
When life is calmer, I have no doubt
No angry drama, a storm blows itself out
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
It's only the wind, they say it's getting worse
The trouble that it brings haunts us like a curse
My nerves are all jangled, but I'm pulling through
I hope I can handle what I have to do
[Chorus]
When life is calmer, I have no doubt
No angry drama, a storm blows itself out
A storm blows itself out
[Interlude]
[Outro]
"I'm sorry"
It's only the wind blowing litter all around
Just a little wind and the trees are falling down
There's nobody crying, that was yesterday
Inside we're all smiling, everything's okay
[Verse 2]
It's only the wind blowing cans along the street
Someone's dustbin lid playing havoc with the peace
There's nobody hiding behind a locked door
And no one's been lying, 'cause we don't lie any more
[Verse 3]
It's only the wind, how it takes you by surprise
Suddenly begins, then before you know it dies
My hands are not shaking, I don't touch a drop
You must be mistaken, I know when to stop
[Chorus]
When life is calmer, I have no doubt
No angry drama, a storm blows itself out
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
It's only the wind, they say it's getting worse
The trouble that it brings haunts us like a curse
My nerves are all jangled, but I'm pulling through
I hope I can handle what I have to do
[Chorus]
When life is calmer, I have no doubt
No angry drama, a storm blows itself out
A storm blows itself out
[Interlude]
[Outro]
