The Wind Across the Pier

The Wind Across the Pier

1. The Wind Across the Pier

The Wind Across the Pier

(verse 1)

the gray mist hits my face

it's strange that together we share this space

the sadness blends in to the low hanging clouds

the rain wraps around the fading sun's light

and I mistake it for tears just a slight

but there will be no more of you being by my side

the wind across the pier

my Coach trench coat and sunglasses hide my stare's seer

our indifferences mean we can't even be friends

so you called me here for one last meeting

but this bitter parting

can't end soon enough

(chorus)

do not hold me tight

do not treat me right

don't think of stealing happiness

don't think about him seeing your favorite dress

I'll be stronger

I'll be better

by myself than with you and your lies

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

there's no fight to win

I'm a woman and not a bull fight

I won't worry about who is right

and I'm not worried about your dependencies

with my crimson lips I'll give you a kiss off, matador

get in my Cadillac and slam shut the door

(chorus)

do not hold me tight

do not treat me right

don't think of stealing happiness

don't think about him seeing your favorite dress

I'll be stronger

I'll be better

by myself even though I loved you however...

(end chorus)

(chorus)

the white rain brings a new pain

it reminds me there's no me without you

my heart continues to ache

but I cannot take what you did back

the wind carries your scent

and it's hard to not reminisce

but I don't need your memory

I just need to reclaim my former glory

the blue hidden by the gray

reminds me I'm free and don't have to stay

and the sadness won't always be around

someday again I'll be safe and sound

the city lights that are so bright

look beautiful from this distance

I'll listen to what you say at my pace

and then walk away unfazed

lalalalala

lalalalala

lalalalala

(end chorus)
