The Wind Lyrics by Polly Jean Harvey

The Wind Lyrics

    Catherine liked high places
    High up, high up on the hills
    A place for making noises
    Like whales
    Noises like the whales

    Here she built a chapel
    With her image
    Her image on the wall
    A place where she could rest and rest
    And a place where she could wash
    And listen to the wind blowing

    And listen to the wind blow
    And listen to the wind
    And listen to the wind blow

    She dreamt of children's voices
    And torture on the wheel
    Patron saint of nothing
    A woman of the hills
    She once was a lady
    Of pleasure and high born
    A lady of the city
    But now she sits and moans

    And listens to the wind blow
    Listen to the wind blow

    I see her in a chapel
    High up on the hill
    She must be so lonely
    Oh mother can't we give
    A husband to our catherine
    A handsom one, a deal
    A rich one for the lady
    Someone to listen with

    And listen to the wind blow
    And listen to the wind blow
    And listen to the wind blow
    And listen to the wind blow
