The call of the night came
and we called it a day
The howling at midnight
had called me away
Out in the moonlight
on a half bended knee
I said Oh now cousin hey
what's happened to me
All of the colors
I couldn't believe
I called out now cousin
hey are you foolin with me
All of the pleasures
now avoiding me
All the music now boring to me
Oh it's unbearable then
To find you feeling
so terrible friend
I know you were chasing
it ah well you had to have been
So holy and wasted like
a prayer in the wind
Out of my shoes
I stepped clear of the trees
Out on the dunes among
the towering reeds
Out in the blue we both
bowed in the breeze
All the music now
all now foreign to me
Oh it's unbearable then
To find you feeling
so terrible friend
To know you were chasing
it ah well you had to have been
So holy and wasted
like a prayer in the wind
All holy and wasted
Just a prayer in the wind
