1. |
Six miles high, speed was
steady |
|
Wind from the north, weather fair |
|
Cabin door screamed and blew open |
|
She was pulled out into the air |
|
|
2. |
Wind tore her clothes like a lover |
|
Anxious to get her to bed |
|
Shoes, stockings, jacket and white blouse |
|
Her skirt pulled off over her head |
|
|
chorus |
Facing the stars. Facing the ground |
|
Feeling the wind spin her around |
|
Swan dive in space, graceful and small |
|
Making love with the wind in Free
Fall |
|

He twisted and turned her with whimsy |
|
Taught her to dive and to pray |
|
Learned every inch of her body |
|
Then wantonly blew her away |

4. |
Now the earth is a jealous mother |
|
Who wants the wind for her own |
|
She pulled the girl down to her bosom |
|
With gravity, welcomed her home |
|
|
5. |
Their brief affair ended abruptly |
|
In a field on a cold and starlit night |
|
But she rode the wind with a passion |
|
That lasted the rest of her life |
|
