The Howling Lyrics

The Howling lyrics

"I can see the iron horses' tracks 
Pressed in the mud from the weight
of all that steam and steel 
But the wind don't blow where you want it to go

No the wind just goes where it will and you follow 
I can feel the breath
of winter 
Driving this snow across these newly-whited plains 
Takes my
breath from me and it leaves me falling 
Then it picks me up again in its
own strength 

And I can hear the wild wind howling 
And I can feel it
in my bones 
And I know that the howling will take me home 

I can see
some traveller's footprints 
There's a little bit of blood in every step he
made 
I wonder what kind of burden he's bearing 
That has cut him so
deeply every step along the long long way 
In the west I see an evening

This scarlet thread stretched beneath the gathering dark 
Red as the
blood on the hands of the Savior 
And rich as the mercy that flowed from His
broken heart 

And I can hear the wild wind howling 
And I can feel it
in my bones 
And I know that the howling will take me home 

These men
of violence they have made this a world full of wars 
Oh God break Your
silence and let Your justice shine forth 
Show some mercy Oh Lord


'Cause I can see a people dispossessed 
Broken and brave in the face
of so much fear 
Driven from their homes by the greed of a nation 
Whose
treaties were as good as litter 
Along the trail of their tears 
I can
see the Covenant colors 
The sun and the rain have woven against the blue of
the sky 
And I know if we live we will live by His promise 
I know He who
made it and 
And I'm sure that He would not lie 

And I can hear the
wild wind howling 
And I can feel it in my bones 
And I know that the
howling will take me home"
