[Verse 1]
Me and the wind are celebrating your loss
Me and the wind are pulling kites and pushing tress
Me and the wind are celebrating your loss
Me and the wind are feeling freer than air should ever be
Should ever be, should ever be, should ever
[Verse 2]
And when you lured me into your syrup
All I could think of was what a lovely way for me to go
I never really realised that
Just like the struggling summer flies that
I was drowning no matter how sweet or how slow
[Chorus]
Have I been such a fool?
Have I been sitting on your stool
While you cracked the whip
While you cracked the whip?
[Verse 1]
Me and the wind are celebrating your loss
Me and the wind are pulling kites and pushing tress
Me and the wind are celebrating your loss
Me and the wind are feeling freer than air should ever be
Should ever be, should ever be, should ever
[Verse 3]
I danced imprisoned in your drumbeat
Your tune of spring had me whirling like a mad march merry hare
It never really came to mind that
Just as the hunter's wires bind that
The strings of your instrument were strangling me inside their snare
[Chorus]
Have I been such a fool?
Have I been sitting on your stool
While you held the hoop
While you held the hoop?
[Bridge]
Now that I'm out and I'm shouting in doorways
Freed from a love more like murder
I should be singing but in liberation
Feel like a ship with no rudder
[Outro]
Me and the wind are celebrating your loss
Have I been such a fool?
