Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I spend too much time
Raiding windmills
We go side by side
Laughing til it's right
There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Take the darkest cloud
Break it open
Water to repair
What we have broken
There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Maybe anywhere the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for
Pull on the borders to lighten the load
Tell all the passengers we're going home
I spend too much time
Seeking shelter
World without end
Couldn't hold her
There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Maybe anywhere the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for
Anywhere the wind blows
Raiding windmills
We go side by side
Laughing til it's right
There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Take the darkest cloud
Break it open
Water to repair
What we have broken
There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Maybe anywhere the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for
Pull on the borders to lighten the load
Tell all the passengers we're going home
I spend too much time
Seeking shelter
World without end
Couldn't hold her
There's something that you won't show
Waiting where the light goes
Maybe anywhere the wind blows
It's all worth waiting for
Anywhere the wind blows

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Quite apart from the lyrical meaning and the literary allusions, I cannot think of a more calm and mellow song than this one.
