Wild Is the Wind Lyrics
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me
All things to me
Don't you know you're life itself
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures in the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind (4x)






No comment yet? Unbelievable... This is such a beautiful song... I think it's about love (kind of obvious..). About a love that feels very strong, but the person who sings it knows, that this love can go wrong.
"Like the leaf clings to the tree, Oh, my darling, cling to me " The leaf is attached to the tree, but can still blow away easily. "For we're like creatures of the wind And wild is the wind Wild is the wind " We are both wild, and we don't know what will become of us in the future.
Maybe... I'm not sure.. Still love the song though...

I want this to be my wedding song when I get married.

I also love this song! bowie gets the balance right, the song is not kitschy, simply beautiful...he creates a special mood in this song that makes it unique! his voice is so fragile and the lyrics simply wonderful

One of THE greatest songs (written) of all time, and Bowie's cover is beautiful. One of my very favorite songs.

This one brings the drama.
Semi crushed to hear Bowie did not write it...it sounds like he could have.
Thematically, it fits the Thin White Duke perfectly. He sang songs of love, yet had no real feelings of his own.
His performance makes you feel the emptiness behind such words.

I understand that Bowie did not write this song, but the passion in his voice and the way he sings it gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it. He's so magical!

A song in my opinion that showcases the power and grace of David Bowie's voice. One of the most beautiful songs I've heard. Emotionally powerful and dramatic. Love it!

"i hear the sound of mandolins"........that line always makes me swoon :)

This song always sounds so mysterious to me. BTW, I do believe this is a cover of a Johnny Mathis song.
@forthelove I thought is was Nina Simone
@forthelove I thought is was Nina Simone
ok....looks like it WAS originally Johnny Mathis and then Nina Simone covered....you win! :)

"forthelove"-After consulting the inlay of "The Paltinum Collection: David Bowie" the writing credits of this song go to "Dimitri Tiomkin/Ned Washington". Hope that helps.
