Lyrics
Written On the Wind
I.E., FAITH HILL (instrumentation), BETTE MIDLER...
******Time includes instrumental tag ending******
Can you sleep
Does it run deep
Do you weep
When you look at the time
Can you run
Are you under the gun
I know it's no fun
It's so hard when you find...
That we're not written on the wind...
This off again, on again...
If the tides were turning
Would you ride a wave into the sea
If a fire was burning
Would you untame the flames to be free
If the world quit spinning
Would you take time to turn it around
If the darkness was winning
Would you come lay me, come lay me down
...We're not written on the wind
It's so long
When you're not strong
Is it wrong
Just to unwind
And I know
There's always another road
And we'll grow
And you know I don't mind...
That we're not written on the wind...
This on again, off again
If the tides were turning
Would you ride a wave into the sea
If a fire was burning
Would you untame the flames to be free
If the world quit spinning
Would you take time to turn it around
If the darkness was winning
Would you come lay me, come lay me down
...We're not written on the wind
...We're not written on the wind
