Just Like the Wind - 目黒将司

There used to be a rusty swing beside this house

It used to creak on windy days like yesterday

When violently the raindrops blew against my window pane but

They made no sound the triple glazing kept it out

Yet in my mind I heard that old swing thinking 'bout

How can we know the sound of wind

If nothing moves around us

In this hard shiny world

Can our voices still be heard

Or like the wind have we become

A bit more silent in our ways

In this clean modern world

Is it harder to discern

What we're trying to communicate

Just like the wind could it be that we need a swing

Just like the wind what we need is a moving thing
