The wind won’t blow around me anymore
C F Am7 G
I remember a time when I wished it were so
F Am7 F C
That which was changing is now constantly static
F G
The redundancy’s no place to go
C/E G/B C
I always loved the rain
F C G
Though I never much cared for the wind
F Am7 G C
But I think I could live with the gales and the pain
F G
That’d come from learning to love someone again
F C G C
So as I sit and wait for my sails to fill
F C G
I cock my head back and look up above
F C Am7 G
I ask my friends the stars why in the hell
F G C
Am I stuck in the doldrums of love
I remember back when I first set sail
I found the best storm I could find
I battened down my hatches and rehearsed all my lines
I sailed straight for her eye
And she blew me away
I don’t even know where I am
All I can feel for miles and miles
Is the pain that comes from blue skies with no sign of land
So as I sit and wait for my sails to fill
I cock my head back and look up above
I ask my friends the stars why in the hell
Am I stuck in the doldrums of love
The stars are my friends and they don’t know why
I’m stuck in the doldrums of love
