When the Wind Blows Lyrics
So long child
I'm on my way
And after all is done
After all is done
Don't be down
It's all in the past
Though you may be afraid
So long child
It's awful dark
And I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
When the wind blows
Life burns a savage wound
Angry and raw
Trusting the twisted word
You'll run, run away
You'll take it all home
You'll spin a tall tale
But they won't believe you
No matter what you say
So long child
It's awful dark
And I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when the wind blows
When the wind blows
I'm on my way
And after all is done
After all is done
It's all in the past
Though you may be afraid
It's awful dark
And I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when
Angry and raw
Trusting the twisted word
You'll run, run away
You'll take it all home
You'll spin a tall tale
But they won't believe you
No matter what you say
It's awful dark
And I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when the wind blows

In David Bowie's "When the Window Blows" the lyric "I dread to think of when the wind blows" is about the sense of anxiety for an impending disaster, conflict, event, etc. It urges us listeners to contemplate the consequences of major events.

incredible good song. the cartoon in which this song was used is also awesome.
Agreed. "When the Wind Blows" is a hard film to track down, but worth seeing. The plot follows a pudgy English couple who survive a nuclear strike only to slowy die of radiation. The score was mainly composed by Roger Waters, and contains music by Bowie and Genesis, among others.
I lke the haunting sound of this song and how it can be taken out of context of the film to suggest any childhood trauma one must learn to deal with and overcome.
