Dougie Maclean - Following Wind lyrics

They've cut down all the trees No one can see what the old man sees We dig a whole and throw the whole thing in We're chasing the storm with the following wind Should we laugh or should we cry? Or be afraid until the day that we die? Should we try and let the light shine in? We're chasing the storm with the following wind It won't last the centre cannot hold There's no excuses that we haven't been told Just sit back and watch it spin We're chasing the storm with the following wind Quench my thirst give me water please Give me something to cure the disease Give me a brush to sweep away my sin We're chasing the storm with the following wind
