Yellow light on the street side of the house where we used to live
In the dark of the bedroom, I would lay there and hold my breath
And when the neighborhood drunk would ride his bike outside our window
Always saying the same thing
He'd say "I'm light as the wind"
Light as the wind
I read a story of a man who held himself at the bottom of a well
He would stay there for several days, let his mind wander between realms
And in the darkest part of night
When the moonlight shone through his only window to the world
And all was quiet
He was light as the wind
Light as the wind
I was in love, the kind that keeps you lonely, it holds a fog over your head
When I was working my boss told me I always seem like I am somewhere else
In my mind, I was under water where the Salmon River flows along the mountainside
And all was quiet
And I was light as the wind
Light as the wind
Light as, I was light as
