LYRICS:

I was a child
Afraid of my own pillow
Everywhere
Glowing and determined
Feasting on the grand entrances
Of kings and queens and dukes

Then I was an eagle
I flew without wings
With my back to the crowd
I sang like a bird
My life was a hourglass
I shattered the silence
With the wind, the mighty wind

The wind will carry me
The wind will blow me anywhere
Anywhere that it may go
The wind will howl at me
The wind will bark and scratch my eyes
But I realize
I'm the wind

Then I saw the people
That I always knew and loved
They shouted out suggestions
But they all seemed so uncouth
My strength like that of a tiger
From the wind, the mighty wind

The wind will carry me
The wind will blow me anywhere
Anywhere that it may go
The wind will howl at me
The wind will bark and scratch my eyes
But I realize
I am the wind

See, this is why I love BotB! On which other music site do you stumble upon phenomenal stuff like this randomly a few minutes after waking up? There is so much awesomeness hidden here. I mean, ~40 people ever even heart this track!

Great stuff!

Wow, thanks Nerd! So you have also fallen under the spell of Mort Barslin! He's my lounge singer alter ego. Someday he will release an album of his pants-wettingly sweet vocal stylings. His other botb hits include "Buzz of Love", "Christmas is the Best", "Mort Barslin's Greatest Hits For Gangsters" and probably more that I'm forgetting! ;)
