The Wind Spits Back at You

from Ashes and Embers by Bill White

lyrics

everythng i ever owned
came in on a freight train
everyone i ever knoed
was there to pick it up
on my way to meet them
i passed by a record store
every record was on sale
but I already had them all

nohing is lost
it all comes back to you
for better or worse
the false and the true
watch your step
be careful what you do
spit in the wind
and the wind spits back at you

they took me to a palace
said this is your new home
i said its way too big for me
they said you wont be living here alone
besides size has no measure
space takes up no space
there are no locks on these doors
no keyes for these gates

the death of a lover
evidence of a crime
nothing is lost
theres nowhere to hide
watch your step
be careful what you do
spit in the wind
and the wind spits back at you

every book i bought and did not read
every record i collected and did not listen to
every frind i had but did not get to know
every place ive been
every place i ever wanted to go

everythng i ever owned
came in on a freight train
everyone i ever knoed
was there to pick it up
on my way to meet them
i passed by a record store
every record was on sale
but I already had them all

the death of a lover
evidence of a crime
nothing is lost
theres nowhere to hide
watch your step
be careful what you do
spit in the wind
and the wind spits back at you
