[Verse 1] I cross the salt flats barefoot Dust on my hem, gold on my skin My veil drinks the noon sun slowly And I keep turning, turn again The camp is far behind me now Only the hawk knows my name I lift my hands to the empty sky And the empty sky answers the same [Pre-Chorus] He comes in a silver braid Through the reeds, through the stones I hear him in the fig tree shade I hear him in my bones [Chorus] Wind, my lover, come Wind, my lover, come You touch me everywhere You touch me everywhere Wind, my lover, come Wind, my lover, come I hear your voice in dust I hear your voice in dust [Verse 2] You slip through every courtyard wall Through copper pots and cedar doors You wake the sheep, you bend the grass You chase my anklets over floors My body learns your hidden names In every whirl, in every spin I am the door you never close I am the house you wander in [Pre-Chorus] He comes in a silver braid Through the reeds, through the stones I hear him in the fig tree shade I hear him in my bones [Chorus] Wind, my lover, come Wind, my lover, come You touch me everywhere You touch me everywhere Wind, my lover, come Wind, my lover, come I hear your voice in dust I hear your voice in dust [Bridge] Only at night the dunes grow still No breath in the old olive trees Then I lie open, flame and silk And he is here with me No step, no whistle, no wild hymn Just his hand on my sleeping hair The dark is full of his warm return And I know him everywhere [Chorus] Wind, my lover, come Wind, my lover, come You touch me everywhere You touch me everywhere Wind, my lover, come Wind, my lover, come I hear your voice in dust I hear your voice in dust [Outro] I turn He turns I hear his voice everywhere I hear his voice everywhere
