Liner Notes

#needsmusic #needscollab
Leaving the beach one evening brown leaves were blown, skating across the street and then in a conversation with my wife she used the phrase "...way of the wind." Had to use that! The combination gave me the idea to write a chase song about sailboat racing. I think it could be a cool tune with the "right" treatment! :-)

Lyrics

Way’o the Wind

V I
Hear the brown leaves scratching
Skating (skitter) cross the street
No one round for miles
rustling, running dodging my feet

Guess we won’t be meeting
Riding the edge of sin
broke the irons I’ve been in
I’m flying an east wing
On the way of the wind

PC/BG Vox
Wayo, wayo, wayo, wayo
Wayo, wayo the wind

C
Wayo the wind,
Come about running
Will (I’ll) beat you down
Pursuit and Gunning

V II
Steal what moves you
And run down wind
Come about head into sin
Then beat you down
Beat you down.

Lead/solo/BG vox in harmonized rounds building
Wayo, wayo, wayo, wayo
Wayo, wayo the wind
Wayo, wayo, wayo, wayo
Wayo, wayo the wind

VIII
The tell tale time will
Will say you’re failing fast
Waving watching at your dying wake
As I go reaching past

Pull the sheets to my chest
Feel the pressure, pass the test
Keep my eye on your mark
Round it tight like you’re in park
C
Wayo the wind,
Come about running
Will (I’ll) beat you down
Pursuit and Gunning

Outro
Lead/solo/BG vox in harmonized rounds fading
Wayo, wayo, wayo, wayo
Wayo, wayo the wind
Wayo, wayo, wayo, wayo
Wayo, wayo the wind
