The wind that shakes the barley, baby, that is I

The rain upon your party is me just passing by

I will haunt your mansion, I will cloud your sky

I will spoil your mornings and I will wreck your nights

Baby, when you're coming, all you'll see is me

Baby, when you're sailing, oh, I'll become the sea

I'll become the river, the fields you claim to own

I'll become the figure in the woods when you're alone

For you can burn the witch but she won't be buried

Cussin' every woman while you're praying to your Mary

Locusts on your harvest, blood runneth through the dairy

I'm the twister in the dark

come rippin' through your prairie

You will live distracted, crows follow your car

I'm in your peripherals, a planet blocks your star

You will fear the sunlight, you will fear the dark

The girl that you betrayed sits every bench in every park

The wind that shakes the barley, baby, that is I

The rain upon your party is me just passing by

I will haunt your mansion, I will cloud your sky

I will spoil your mornings and I will wreck your nights

Oh, it's never over

In every breath you seethe, you will only be tasting me

My words spillin' from all the

tongues of every woman you will love

And I never had to cast a spell

you brought this hell upon yourself

I'll be the chills crawlin' down your spine

when your daughter scowls at you with my eyes

In every breath you seethe, you will only be tasting me

My words spillin' from all the

tongues of every woman you will love

And I never had to cast a spell

you brought this hell upon yourself

I'll be the chills crawlin' down your spine

when your daughter scowls at you with my eyes

In the woods bare footsteps patter

like a magpie swarm in flight

(The wind that shakes the barley, baby, that is I)

A hundred eyes glowing at night

ah, but which of them are mine?

(The rain upon your party is me just passing by)

You may think your darling's safe

because you're holding her so close but

(I will haunt your mansion, I will cloud your sky)

One day soon she'll meet me and want to eat you whole

(I will spoil your mornings and I will wreck your nights)

The wind that shakes the barley, baby, that is I

(In every breath you seethe, you will only be tasting me)

The rain upon your party is me just passing by

(My words spillin' from all the tongues of every woman you will love)

I will haunt your mansion, I will cloud your sky

I will spoil your mornings and I will wreck your nights
