[Verse 1]

All this shifting of the hours

Goes towards the light

And the presence of this emptiness

Gives up without a fight

[Verse 2]

And the movement of the river

Goes towards the sea

And this absence of fulfilment

Presents itself to me

[Chorus 1]

Well, don’t be scared

It’s just the wind

And the minutes

Don’t know where to begin

And we are getting older

It’s not amounting to anything

To anything

So just let go

[Verse 3]

Oh, these pockets of the sky

They’re turbulent at best

We laugh when we are frightened

Not at our own behest

[Verse 4]

And the chattering of spirits

Keeps me wide awake

Now this isn’t something stolen, no

But it’s something I can’t take

[Chorus 2]

Don’t be scared

It’s just the wind

And the minutes

Don’t know where to begin

And we are getting older

And it’s not amounting to anything

To anything

So just let go

[Verse 5]

Now the sound of screaming beauties

As they cry themselves to sleep

Whatever I’ve held on to

Is never nothing I can keep

[Verse 6]

I lay my hands across the stone

And hold back my breath

I haven’t gone but I am fading, oh

Lord, I scare myself to death

[Chorus 3]

And don’t be scared

It’s just the wind

And the minutes

Don’t know where to begin

And we are getting older

And it’s not amounting

It all adds up

And who is counting

[Chorus 4]

So don’t be scared

It’s just the wind

And the minutes

Don’t know where to begin

And we are getting older

And it’s not amounting to anything

To anything

So just let go

[Post-Chorus]

Just let go, just let go

Just let go

[Outro]

Oh, the shifting of the hours

Goes towards the light

And the presence of this emptiness

Gives up without a fight
