The wind is blowing softer now
My eyes are still a blur
With remnants all around me
I survey the ones that were
They were strong and tall
They stood so proud
And when they walked the streets
The people bowed
But when the climate changed
They tried their best to stay
But the wind blew them all away
Picture in your mind
A silent statue in the sand
A dust cloud comes
And leaves no hiding place
For beast or man
And in the master's house
They're partyin' down
But there's no resting place
In this prodigal town
But there are some we know
Thought they'd go all the way
But the wind blew them all away
In the master's house
There's an easy chair
(Repeat riff 2 chords through next section)
While they were looking the other way
