Wild Wind - John Leyton

Love me, love me, love me, say you do Let me fly away with you For my love is like the wind And wild is the wind Give me more than one caress Satisfy this hungriness Let the wind blow through your heart For wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss, my life begins You're spring to me All things to me Don't you know your life itself

Reap the wild wind Reap the wild wind Reap the wild wind A finger points to show a scene (Take my hand, take my hand) Another face where mine had been (Take my hand, take my hand) Another footstep where I once walked (Take my hand) Take it all You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and sell you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind A footprint haunts an empty floor (Take my hand, take my hand) A fading coat that I once wore (Take my hand, take my hand) Oh, a desolation where I once lived I have seen in times gone by I have felt A different shadow on the wall A stranglehold on a certain feeling You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and sell you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind Reap the wild wind You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and sell you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind

There's a wild wind that blows across the desert She's got teeth like razors she could tear through a man You could give her your heart but she'll never love you And she'll send you back to your mama again And there's a gambling hall just outside the city I used to frequent there when I was passing through There's a girl there I've never seen such beauty As I sit alone at my table for two I said oh love of mine You weren't what I had in mind When I closed my eyes There's a bar I really like within a ghost town The owner says it's never stood so still Because the company came and they closed all them miles down And everyone went running for the hills Some nights I can't sleep for the darkness Creeps into my room from all the cracks and seams And it scares me to hell and back again As I lay awake and I try not to scream I said oh love of mine You weren't what I had in mind When I closed my eyes I said oh love of mine You weren't what I had in mind When I closed my eyes When I closed my eyes

Reap the wild wind Reap the wild wind Reap the wild wind A finger points to show a scene Take my hand, take my hand Another face where mine had been Take my hand, take my hand Another footstep where I once walked Take my hand, take it all You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and send you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind A footprint haunts an empty floor Take my hand, take my hand A fading coat that I once wore Take my hand, take my hand Oh, desolation where I once lived I have seen in times gone by I have felt a different shadow on the wall A stranglehold on a certain feeling You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and send you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind Reap the wild wind You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and send you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind

Love me, love me Say you do Let me fly away with you We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind Give me more than one caress Satisfy this hungriness We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins, baby You kiss me With your kiss my life begins Like a leaf clings to a tree Baby, please cling to me We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins And you kiss me With your kiss my life begins Love me, love me Say you do Let me fly away with you
