Only the wind

"Only the wind" is a cover song by LorD and Master, originally by Pet Shop Boys from their album Behaviour. This stripped-down piano-and-vocal version is played and recorded live. The song is about domestic violence.

Lyrics

It's only the wind
Blowing litter all around
Just a little wind
And the trees are falling down

There's nobody crying 
That was yesterday
Inside we're all smiling
And everything's okay

It's only the wind
Blowing cans along the street
Someone's dustbin lid 
Playing havoc with the peace

There's nobody hiding
Behind the locked door
And no-one's been lying
cause we don't lie any more

It's only the wind
How it takes you by surprise
Suddenly it begins
But then before you know, it dies

My hands are not shaking
I don't touch a drop
You must be mistaken
I know when to stop

When life is calmer
I have no doubt
No angry drama
A storm
Blows itself out

It's only the wind
They say it's getting worse
The trouble that it brings
Haunts us like a curse

My nerves are all jangled
But I'm pulling through
I hope I can handle
What I have to do

When life is calmer
I have no doubt
No angry drama
A storm 
Blows itself out
A storm
Blows itself out

I'm sorry
