Lucinda Williams I Envy The Wind written by Lucinda Williams

I envy the wind that whispers in your ear
That howlsthrough the winter that freezes your fingers
It moves through your hair and cracks your lips
It chills you to the bone I envy the wind
I envy the rain that falls on your face
That wets your eyelashes and dampens your skin
And touches your tongue and soaks through your shirt
And drips down your back I envy the rain
I envy the sun that brightens your summer
And warms your body and holds you in heat
It makes you days longer and makes you hot
It makes you sweat I envy the sun
I envy the wind I envy the rain
I envy the sun I envy the wind

Lucinda Williams Out Of Touch written by Lucinda Williams

F#m A E Bm7 2x

Once in awhile we might pass on the street
We nod we smile and we shuffle our feet
Making small talk standing face to face
Hands in our pockets cause we feel so out of place
Our paths may cross again in some crowded bar
We feel a little lost cause we’ve drifted away so far
Hoping to find the right words to say
We joke a little and then go on our way
We are so out of touch yeah
We are so out of touch yeah
La La La
La la la la
We speak in past tense and talk about the weather
Half broken sentences we try to piece togethor
I ask about an old friend that we both used to know
You said you heard he took his life about five years ago
We may pass each other on the interstate
We honk and cross over to the other lane
Everybody’s going somewhere everybody’s inside
Hundreds of cars hundreds of private lives
We are so out of touch yeah
La La La
La la la la
