Even when it is quiet on the street
And the cars are standing still on the side of the road
The bars are closed and there is no one to be seen
And no sirens or fire anywhere
Even when it is quiet is on the street
No train whistles in the distance
There is no swearing, no fighting
It is quiet and yet you hear a sound
Is it a child? Is it a woman
A man perhaps
Or a cornered cat
Or is it the wind
At the end of the century
Is it the wind
/>Even when it is quiet in the house
No radio on
The newspapers off
No blood and deceit on TV
It is quiet and yet you hear sound
Is is it the jungle
Or the desert
Is it hunger is it pain
Or is it the wind
At the end of the century
Is it the wind
Is this the wind?
