Lyrics
The wind blows through the trees,
I zip up my coat to keep out the breeze,
kicking stones, looking at the ground,
ignoring the traffic bellowing in the street,
I’m at peace, I don’t hear a sound,
except for the wind, blowing through the trees.
Caressing the peace, I recently found,
not bothering to cover up, the peace bulging in my pants.
I don’t care what others think today,
today’s my day, with the breeze blowing through the trees,
me, the wind, the trees, walking together through the streets.
Now I’m living in an igloo, I can’t find the thermostat,
everywhere, everyone’s so cold,
I’m shaking like a leaf, with the cold breeze,
infesting my intestines.
I can’t get a grip on myself
I can’t get a grip on myself
Give me your coat, give me your warmth,
Let me feel your heat, I want to burn,
Taste the fires of Satan’s warmth,
I can’t the heat, once again I’m spurned!
I can’t get a grip on myself!!

Notes
- One of three songs we recorded at Ted Willey’s studio during the winter of 1985-1986.
- We didn’t have a drummer, but Chris Fozard was able to be our drummer for the session – he did an amazing job!
- I particularly like Paul’s trumpet playing on this piece – especially at the end, when he doubled up the trumpets…spine tingling!.
