10 - Debt on the Wind

[Intro – slow guitar and organ] Night wind moving Through the town. Empty storefronts Shutters down. [Verse 1] Factory whistle Sounds the dawn. But the overtime Is mostly gone. Paper headlines Talking again, About the debt Riding the wind. [Chorus] Debt on the wind, Blowing through the land. Promises written In a trembling hand. Debt on the wind, Everybody feels. Every mile turning Beneath the wheels. [Verse 2] Mother counting Bills at night. Kitchen table Under yellow light. Children sleeping Down the hall. Radio whispering Through the wall. [Chorus] Debt on the wind, Blowing through the land. Promises written In a trembling hand. Debt on the wind, Everybody knows. When the numbers rise Where the burden goes. [Bridge – guitar solo] Storm clouds forming Far away. Every promise Has its day. [Final Chorus] Debt on the wind, Blowing through the land. Promises written In a trembling hand. Debt on the wind, Everybody feels. Every mile turning Beneath the wheels.
