. blow wind, blow high, as all the pain goes by / bring rain, rain down to the ground / shine sun, shine sun to feed a single flower / but all I see for now is cloud/fall snow, fall snow deep as any mountainside / come rain, come down to ground / come night, come day, to feed a single soul / but all I see for now is cloud / days filled with black and white making you steer / going against the light, for fear / heart full of hopefulness / sometimes its clear all’s not against the light, I hear /blow wind, blow high, as all the pain goes by / come rain, rain down to the ground / sun shine, sun shine to feed a single flower/ all I see for now is cloud .
