This song reminds me of Sheeley's "Ode to the West Wind", wherein wind is used as a metaphor for revolutionary change. " Every new messenger bringing evil report /'Bout armies on the march and time that is short / And famines and earthquakes and train wrecks and the tearin' down of the wall." Ok, there is some apocalyptical imagery there...."And them distant ships of liberty on them iron waves so bold and free, /Bringing everything that's near to me nearer to the fire."
