Whirlwind Lyrics

A whirlwind came into my life and he tried to rescue me
will you come, will you go
will you tell me so what's new

Twisting burning, my thoughts turning, back to you again
Sweet thing, take me to the end
You'd better dig and take a look inside yourself

So the story goes, and so I've heard it said,
that you left your land, to trade for a place, so far away,
so out of date, that only you could understand
And at the ceiling of my feeling, backed up against the wall,
Sweet thing, you know I'd fall in line
You'd better dig and take a look inside yourself

She wants to be free
I want to know
She wants to be free
I want to know
yeah

A whirlwind came into my life and he tried to rescue me
will you come, will you go
will you tell me so what's new

Twisting burning, my thoughts turning, back to you again
Sweet thing, take me to the end

She wants to be free
I want to know
She wants to be free
I want to know
yeah (uh huh yeah yeah)

hey yall. i got the tab to this song.i'm not sure of the chord names though. the main riff goes like this: e-0--0--0 B-5--3--2 G-0--0--0 You can figure out how many times to strum D-5--4--2
A-0--0--0 E--------- and the break goes like this: e-----------------2-2 B-----------------3-3 G-4-4-4-4-------2-2 D-4-4-4-4-------0-0 A-2-2-2-2----------- E---------------------

you should use fingers 2 and 3 on the main riff for the first and third chords and then use 1 and 2 on the second chord, it's much easier that way. it may take a while to get the rhythm but overall its an easy song.

i hope this tab helped yall out. this tab is based on the song when Dispatch played it at the FleetBoston Pavilion on 6/7/02. i havent heard any other versions. this is a great song i love it. Tell me what you think of the tab. see ya zach

also, on spatchpatch.com you can click on 'the music' at the top of the screen and then tabs on the left...that's another variation.

I think this is a very metaphorical take on a break-up argument.

-Yeah, OpinionHead, you're right! -The lyrics are kind of simple, and a BIT repetitive, but it's a very enjoyable song about him missing his girlfriend.... or something! -IDK! That's my simple interpretation anyway!

Thnx --Mark

This is one song I could listen to a million times and never be sick of it. I love it that much.

Some have speculated this Dispatch has a hidden Christian message behind many of their tunes. From that perspective, I remember reading a manifesto from another website that mentioned an angel coming down in a whirlwind to rid the world Old Testament-style of those persecute God's chosen people. From that manifesto, I read that Dubya was quoted using the "angel in the whirlwind" reference when referring to the USA and it's military when it comes to enforcing the peace of the world. That may not have anything to do with this song, and yet it may have everything to do. This may not be about the war in Iraq, so much as the foreign policy of the USA since the end of World War II.

I took the whirlwind to be this enigmatic woman that this guy just cannot get out of his head. He's in love with her and wants more out of her even though she could probably come or go. He would do anything if she would only be as devoted as he is.
