Lyrics

When the wind feels like the words
Are breathing in and out of thee
And I'm standing beside you
There's a shadow where a man should be
I would be glad enough
If wherever I might be
People would remember
We're woven in this tapestry
When we steal what we can
With a courage to be free
And I've found where I belong
Among the poorest company
When the wind feels like the world
In useless spinning all around me
A country round my shoulders
Its flag raised on a gallows tree
I won't let it get me down
I know there are people now
Who bind together what they do
And live their lives like I want to
When we steal what we can
I take everything I see
And I've found where I belong
Among the poorest company
When we steal what we can
With a courage to be free
And I've found where I belong
Among the poorest company
