Chris De Burgh — Eastern Wind

Well my furrows are filled with corn I have my woman to keep me warm But there's one thing that I do fear That Eastern wind is getting near There's a shotgun beside my bed This is my country, where I was born and bred But I am sure, as the willow will grow That Eastern wind is going to blow Blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind Running away with my life, Eastern wind; There's a woman who reads the stars She sees Warlords on the planet Mars And she said, "Boy, you'd better beware That restless wind is getting near Blowing a hole in your life, Eastern wind Running away with your life, Eastern wind..." They are coming, they are coming They are coming, look out! In my dream, I saw a crowd They were burning the palace down I saw a mad old man, and I ran to the door And then that wind began to roar And when they come, they'll find me here I will not run, they will not see my fear And I will fight to the very end Before that wind I will never bend If they're blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind Oh running away with my life, Eastern wind Taking the plough from my hands, Eastern wind Taking every bit of my land, Eastern wind...
