A collaboration with Xavier Hosxe (Ixox). Visit his website for more wonderful music.
m & x:
oh the wind and the tide
oh the wind and the tide
and the hollow inside
x: pourquoi la guerre?
m: we fight for peace
x: then why the broken child?
the sands we walk are wet with blood
m: i did no wrong
(i did no wrong)
i let the wind decide
m & x:
oh the wind and the tide
oh the wind and the tide
and the hunger inside
m & x:
oh and oh, the wind and the rain falling
oh and oh, the wind and the rain falling down
[flute instrumental]
m: and why the bomb?
x: c'est indispensable
m: and why the poisoned sea?
the fish we eat now make us choke
x: i did no wrong
(i did no wrong)
on ne bat pas le vent
i did no wrong
(i did no wrong)
je suis la marée montante
m & x:
oh and oh, the wind and the rain falling
oh and oh, the wind and the rain falling
oh and oh, the wind and the rain falling
oh and oh, the wind and the rain falling down
[flute instrumental]
m & x:
oh the wind and the tide
oh the wind and the tide
and the hollow inside
x: they braved the sea
m: i sailed the wind
i found the empty south
x: they killed the man and stole the child
m: i did no wrong
(i did no wrong)
i let the wind decide
m & x: we did no wrong
(we did no wrong)
we never fought the tide
coda:
x: cinq ans, six ans et mille
sept ans, huit ans et mille
