I Meet the Wind

I kept a coat around my name

Too many seasons in the same

Then something loosened at the seam

And let the weather into me

The buttons open one by one

I meet the evening as I am

I shrug it off, I let it fall

The wind finds places I kept small

The weather moves across my skin

I let the old protection go

let it fall... the old protection go...

The sleeves fall empty at my side

There’s nothing left for me to hide

The weather writes across my face

A quieter life is taking place

The buttons open one by one

I meet the evening as I am

I shrug it off, I let it fall

The wind finds places I kept small

The weather moves across my skin

I let the old protection go

let it fall… across my skin… the old protection go…

No more layers, no more fold

Only weather, uncontrolled...

The coat is gone...

I meet the wind...

I shrug it off, I let it fall

The wind finds places I kept small

The weather moves across my skin

I let the old protection go

I meet the wind… let it fall… the coat is gone…

I shrug it off...

I meet the wind...

I shrug it off...

I meet the wind...
