Listen well, it’s time you know the fate you’ve chosen / In this world, no tender heart will go unbroken / Who can tell when it comes? / You leave the door half open / Before you know, you’ve cried enough to fill the ocean / Ooh, it’s not for us to know / Ooh, which way the wind will blow / Like a fawn in a beam of light, standing frozen / Like a child in a dream from which he can’t be woken / Who can know the breath of love / That sets your lungs in motion? / Open up your golden throat / And sing a song of pure devotion / Ooh, it’s not for us to know / Ooh, which way the wind will blow / Without a branch to cling to / We step into a void / Naked as we’re born / Underneath it all, that’s where we belong.
