Outside, the lines are down
Fran has cut deep
Sky and the ground, look like they're ripped
Hundred year old trees, out in the street

Blow wind, tell me my future
Get down, Moses

I knew the boy from a house down the way
Good looking kid, strong for his age
Live line, on the ground, snaking its way

Blow wind, tell me my future
Get down, Moses

Please God help me to forget I'm alive
Its a high price to pay for a misunderstanding
Its a high price to pay for where I was standing
Only 18 and just hard of hearing

Blow wind, tell me my future
Get down, Moses

I was in his ground, helped clear the way
I saw the line. "Get out of the way!"
Moses stood up, "What did you say?"

Please God help me to forget I'm alive
It's a high price to pay for a misunderstanding
It's a high price to pay for where I was standing
Now I'm only 18 and I'm just hard of hearing
Won't you keep him alive
Long enough, to say goodbye
Won't you keep him alive long enough till I say goodbye

Carolina Power line
Cut free and cut him so quickly
Carolina Power line
Cut free and cut him so deeply
Blow wind
Tell me how it all ends
Tell me my future
Blow wind
And tell me how it all ends
Tell me my future

Blow wind, tell me my future
Get down, Moses

If this my last storm
Yeah, if this is my last storm
Yeah, if this is my last storm
Let the wind blow
