When the Wind Breaks Your Knees Lyrics by Rorey Carroll

Strange Freedom: Songs of Love and Protest

2017

[Verse 1]
You are the one who gets stuck out in the rain
'Cause a dream [?] was mistaken
And I hope you'll always be, 'cause I want love to win
I want life to begin when it is broken
[Chorus]
Stay with me
When the wind breaks your knees
And your eyes are so sore you can't see through 'em
And when I touch you, you'll know
That I will not let you go
Until your wings are strong enough for you to use 'em
[Verse 2]
There's a calm before the street fills with the people
When the mind is able to breathe
It all comes at once, the laughter and the madness
The heartache and the soreness of your feet
[Chorus]
Oh, but you can stay with me
When the wind breaks your knees
When your eyes are so sore you can't see through 'em
And when I touch you, you'll know
That I will not let you go
Until your wings are strong enough for you to use 'em
[Verse 3]
[?] to the hands [?]
To the heart of [?]
The spirit of man can be broken by a hand
Let yourself stand up and see
[Chorus]
You can always stay with me
When the wind breaks your knees
And when your eyes are so sore, you try real hard to use 'em
And when I touch you, you'll know
That I'll never let you go
And your wings were always strong enough to use 'em
