about

Wayne had a Rickenbacker around the studio and I asked him whether he might do some Byrds-like guitar on this. He obliged with the full McGuinn! The song is about listening to nature, and one's own nature.

lyrics

Secrets of the wind

There was a time, I’d stand astride the hills and dream of perfect crimes
With all the stars a’shine
Better days, when all the world was brave and all the winds were waves
And all the suns ablaze

But now I see the falling of the leaves,
And now I hear the wailing and the whining of the trees
Cos I used to know, I used to go within, I used to know the secrets of the wind

A tiny call, a voice as soft as rain, that only came at dawn, and tied my hair at night
Once ignored, once ignored twice gone, now an empty chord
A friend once known no more

Now I hear the whispering of the rain,
And now I see the falling, and the warning signs again
Cos I used to know, I used to go within, I used to know the secrets of the wind

Now I see the warning signs and I hear the voice no more
And I feel the urgency of all the strings and all that I adore

There was a time, I’d stand astride the hills and dream of perfect crimes
With all the stars a’shine

But now I see the twisting of the waves,
And now I hear the wailing and the whining of the trees
Cos I used to know, I used to go within, I used to know the secrets of the wind
