Spirit Wind Lyrics - David Wilcox

So you're driving from the funeral 

Through the desert land 

You see something moving 

In the wind so wild 

So you stop the car 

And you walk out 

To the edge of the sand 

And you watch it fly 

A wind blown trash bag does a road side ghost dance 

In the vast Mojave sky 

Like a living spirit just for one full minute 

Right when you're passing by 

It hovers there up in the air 

Up in that twist of dust and wind 

The vortex slows, so it goes 

Dust to dust again 

Whisper those words you heard 

"Don't be afraid my friend" 

It's more than just dust to dust 

You're mostly a spirit wind 

Mostly a spirit wind 

Dust to dust 

Spirit wind 

Dust to dust 

Is this a sign to change your mind 

Tempting you to trust? 

Yes, you're bound to die but you're made to fly 

Just like that twist of wind and dust 

This precious chance to get this dance 

To get to live this life and feel 

This time and place, amazing grace 

The spirit wind is real 

Whisper those words you heard 

"Don't be afraid my friend" 

It's more than just dust to dust 

You're mostly a spirit wind 

Mostly a spirit wind 

Dust to dust 

Spirit wind 

Dust to dust 

Spirit wind 

Dust to dust 

Spirit wind 

Dust
