Lucinda Williams I Envy The Wind written by Lucinda Williams
DBEAbDbBbm
I envy the wind that whispers in your ear
EbmAb
That howlsthrough the winter that freezes your fingers
DbBbm
It moves through your hair and cracks your lips
EbmAbDb
It chills you to the bone I envy the wind
DbBbm
I envy the rain that falls on your face
EbmAb
That wets your eyelashes and dampens your skin
EbBbm
And touches your tongue and soaks through your shirt
EbmAbDb
And drips down your back I envy the rain
DbBbm
I envy the sun that brightens your summer
EbmAb
And warms your body and holds you in heat
DbBbm
It makes you days longer and makes you hot
EbmAbDb
It makes you sweat I envy the sun
DbBbm
I envy the wind I envy the rain
EbmAbDb
I envy the sun I envy the wind
