Whirlwind in D Minor

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? 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 --- Whirlwind in D Minor - Ed Harcourt
