Lyrics

She Changes with the Breeze

Her breath's died down, she's wound down to a superficial calm
But if you're waiting for a storm, you won't be waiting long
Apologetic, bitter voices rise from her and swell
Whispering reminders of a secret I can't tell
Her full-force gale with curveball hail settles in with ease
And I don't know which way she's blowing, she changes with the breeze
I don't know which way she's blowing, she changes with the breeze

She smiles in all directions at the corners of her mouth
And if you catch her in the North, she's likely headed South
She never asks for seconds without stopping for a third
The language of her breakneck pace says "safe's" a dirty word
She's wrestling the branches, she's undressing the trees
And I don't know which way she's turning, she changes with the leaves
I don't know which way she's turning, she changes with the leaves

She's circling the shoreline like a brunette killer whale
I'm treading bloody water, she's picking up my trail
I'm churning rising water, she's tempting me to float
Her tidal wave convictions fill the bottom of my boat
She echoes on the shoreline of the Cape and of the Keys
And I don't know which way she's going, she changes with the seas
No, I don't know which way she's turning, she changes with the leaves
No, I don't know which way she's blowing, she changes with the breeze
