I Envy the Wind Lyrics

Lucinda Williams I Envy The Wind written by Lucinda Williams
I envy the wind that whispers in your ear
That howlsthrough the winter that freezes your fingers
It moves through your hair and cracks your lips
It chills you to the bone I envy the wind
I envy the rain that falls on your face
That wets your eyelashes and dampens your skin
And touches your tongue and soaks through your shirt
And drips down your back I envy the rain
I envy the sun that brightens your summer
And warms your body and holds you in heat
It makes you days longer and makes you hot
It makes you sweat I envy the sun
I envy the wind I envy the rain
I envy the sun I envy the wind
