Ed Harcourt Whirlwind In D Minor Lyrics

Whirlwind In D Minor Lyrics

The whole town nearly died

When rocks flew from the sky

The stray dogs whined and howled

At dark foreboding clouds



The mayor screamed and fled

The priest hid under his bed

Uprooted trees did spin

To the sound of a merciless wind



Will you love me when I'm old?

I'm still hoping I can get that far

No one escaped the whirlwind's hold

Except the jailer and his pack of cards

And I sit outside watching falling stars

Playing D minor chords on a Spanish guitar



Well, clothes blew through the streets

And so did cinema seats

Their souls could not be saved

I dug a thousand graves



Will you love me when I'm old?

And I'm still hoping I can get that far

No one escaped the whirlwind's hold

Except the jailer and his pack of cards

And I sit outside watching falling stars

Playing D minor chords on a Spanish guitar
