Lyrics[]

There's a mean streak in the sky
On the morning when you come by
And you ask me "would I?"
And I say I would
And it's an ill wind that does nobody good

And I should've known that you'd come my way
By the dogs sprawled out sleeping on the driveway
Windows open audibly around the neighborhood
It's an ill wind that does nobody good

And you touched my hand
And the sun bleeds down
Ineffective warnings all over the ground
And I'm standing on the same spot where you husband stood
It's an ill wind that does nobody good
