Windy Night
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh



When the angry sky, opens up its mouth
And lays down a belt of rain from the north to the south
Close your windows and close all your doors
And pray for those men who fall upon rocky shores

And when the hungry road, points its finger at your heart
And say "Stranger follow me, I will show you where to start"
Well don't make a move, to the left or the right, or them
Hounds are gonna get you, send you running, screaming through
The stormy night

And one windy night, a flickering light
caught the eye of a passing angel as she was in flight 
she came to the door, and there she saw a young soldier crying 
as he lay dying from a wound of war

Then that angel of the Lord, took the form of a girl
And knelt by the boy and said "I will help you to that other world
Oh rest your weary soul, lay your head upon my shoulder
Press your trembling hand in mine until the night is over
For that Devil wants you, but you are a soldier 
and with a friend by your side 
there's no need to hide until the fight is over..."
Na na na na 
oh Lord on this windy night
Na na na na 
oh Lord on this windy night

So if you need help, on a windy night 
be sure to leave a candle burning 
so a friend can see the light 
there may be a stranger come looking for you 
and it may be an angel of the Lord come to bring you better news

On a windy night...
Na na na na 
oh Lord on this windy night...
Oh hear me, hear me Lord 
oh Lord, on my windy night...
Oh hear me Lord 
oh Lord on my windy night
