one stiff breeze
john hiatt
what's that coming on your mind
what's that sneaking up behind
what's that burning down the line
what's that got you in a bind
i can't find you anywhere
stone white skin and fiery hair
think you'd stand out in a crowd
with that laugh you laugh out loud
what's that coming on your mind
what's that sneaking up behind
what's that burning down the line
what's that got you in a bind
shadows slip through shifting light
'til the air is black with night
endless tears and mournful sighs
sure could use your flashlight eyes
all this time we've come across
all we've gained and all we've lost
just a little pile of dust
one stiff breeze and you've got us
