verse 1 What started at a summer lake A sentence and a name If only for a moment's sake We called it and it came Held it down, the loving heat, Longer than a time Held it down, the loving heat Softer than a chime We've seen how Sick Wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die We've seen how Sick Wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die Interlude: verse 2 Shot the rats and as they ran From the quarry to the tracks Chased them as you gave your hand And never took it back Held it up and felt the wind Blow and miss a chime Found a god and begged at him To fight your body cry We've seen how Sick Wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die We've seen how Sick Wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die Interlude 1: Bridge I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder Interlude 2: We've seen how Sick Wind blows But I've got your bovine eyes And I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die Oh, I'll love you like I love you Then I'll die
