Cyclone Lyrics by Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers

Levitate

2009

[Verse 1]
Most of our years have flown away
With nothing much decided
Except the board we're playing on
How it's to be divided
Will more years yet die alone?
The question's many-sided
Got no answers of my own
And none have been provided
[Chorus]
When I was young, there was not a thing to know
And the wind followed me wherever I'd go
Rain came down where I made my stand
And the cyclone rose with the wave of my hand
And the cyclone rose with the wave of my hand
[Verse 2]
Well, there's a game that's only played
In a darkened room with strangers
Dealt down and dirty with unmarked cards
Eyes closed to dangers
Jealousy folds without playing its hold card
Romance raises grinning
I spent several lifetimes there
Where I could not lose for winning
[Chorus]
When I was young, there was love for free
Glad to be given and received by me
Rain came down where I made my stand
And the cyclone rose with the wave of my hand
Oh, with the wave of my hand
[Post-Chorus]
I believe I can still make the cyclone rise
Just can't see it so well, with my fading eyes
[Bridge]
A mystery to myself not everything
Now I was born to be
All I know is when I wanted it so
The wind itself rose for me
You know, if it wasn't for love
I might just be a wandering man
But I believe I've made the better choice
To sing about it with this band
[Chorus]
When I was a boy, I could summon the moon
With a crook of the finger and a home-made tune
I could ride the clouds when they sailed on by
And sing all the words to a wildcat's cry
When I was young, there was nothing to know
And the wind followed me wherever I'd go
Rain came down where I made my stand
And the cyclone rose with the wave of my hand
And the cyclone rose with a wave of my hand
[Outro]
I believe I can still make the cyclone rise
And the cyclone rose, wave of my hand
Rain came down where I made my stand
