Lyrics
they thought theyd teach me their money they only gave me their hate in the winds of the north where the wild child runs and the dead crawl out of their graves IM here to tell you this story oF A MAN ON A MOUNT WITH A STONE IN HIS HAND Cause the words come right from the lord what they are im not a telling for these words have never been heard so dear brother please dont you make me cause they come from the lips of the lord Cleopatra stands in the doorway Ive been walking this halls much too long And she give me her hand and play in the band If i just sat and sang her a song ANother page in the story is opened Like the world was before there were kings With a stove pipe hat and a cane in my hand And the chains and the guns and the rings Ah these hallways are deep and their lonely Meet the devil he come on this way Sit and talk for a bit with the king of tibet AND TAKE A RIDE ON THE ENOLA GAY they thought theyd teach me their money they only gave me their hate in the winds of the north where the wild child runs and the dead crawl out of their graves IM here to tell you this story oF A MAN ON A MOUNT WITH A STONE IN HIS HAND Cause the words come right from the lord what they are im not a telling for these words have never been heard so dear brother please dont you make me cause they come from the lips of the lord Cleopatra stands in the doorway Ive been walking this halls much too long And she give me her hand and play in the band If i just sat and sang her a song ANother page in the story is opened Like the world was before there were kings With a stove pipe hat and a cane in my hand And the chains and the guns and the rings Ah these hallways are deep and their lonely Meet the devil he come on this way Sit and talk for a bit with the king of tibet AND TAKE A RIDE ON THE ENOLA GAY

You have a sincerity in your voice that pulls the listener into your thoughtful stories on the tribulations of life and death. Another great song from you !!

Quite a story Roger. But... that is your strength.. So many images and areas covered. Nice work. P.S. I was in Canada last week for work and your country survived it. LOL. In Sarnia...

Superb lyrics, brilliantly crafted writing and sung with incredible feeling and expression. You always have the ability to write something that makes us sit up and take notice.

Yeah,haunting is the word,I think I'd add 'chilling', along with the other worldly lyrics it's a unique vocal style you have which is a helluva thing to possess. I like people who plough their own furrow,this is reminiscent of Tom Waits in that respect,it's a big thumbs up from me.

a lot of powerful perspective involved in this tale of wayward mankind and their endless collaboration in insanity .. will we ever learn?

Roger, You are a lyrical master. Like a well written movie, "Winds of the North" takes you on a journey through the past.
