She slips through the doorway, a candle may flicker

She bends a thin branch of a green willow sapling

She dries hanging sheets without dropping a clothespin

She kisses an ember, restarts your fire

Seems like she’ll never do any harm

She rips off a chimney, slams the back door

Your lights flicker out ‘cause a tree hit the line

Your hair is all tangled, your hat it's a-flyin’

Windows are shattering, dogs are a’ whimpering

When she blows cold you best cover your face

She’s a gale force wind, and she won’t send a warning

She’ll sweep in tomorrow, or maybe today

She’s a gale force wind, and you best get to know her

Hold on to your dreams, she might blow them away

She can power your mill, fill up your silo

Push the gray storm clouds away from the shore

Eagles and condors will ride her for days

Out on the ocean she’s right there behind you

So hoist up the mainsail, she’s setting you free

She’s a gale force wind, she won’t send a warning

She’ll sweep in tomorrow, or maybe today

She’s a gale force wind, you best get to know her

Hold on to your dreams, she might blow them away

She’s a gale force wind, she won’t send a warning

She’ll sweep in tomorrow, or maybe today

She’s a gale force wind, you best get to know her

Hold on to your dreams, she might blow you away
