LYRICS:

The wind don't have to hurry

Blowin' across my bones

Rollin' up the pastures

Smoothin' out the stones

There's fire on the mountain

Dark angels in the trees

The wind don't have to hurry

They're takin' what they please

Now the thought police are coming

Right up to your door

They say you have no liberty

If you're who they're looking for

No writ of habeas corpus

No platform of descent

The wind don't have to hurry

Only the wind knows where you went

The wind don't have to hurry

Blowing through my soul

I sold for gold and diamonds

And buried in this hole

They bought my love a pistol

They put it to her head

Now the wind don't have to hurry

She was already dead
