Sixteen Hooves Lyrics

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
In the night the shadows play
I am but a window looking
Outwards as my curtains sway

I know, I know
I know they're coming
Sixteen hooves like distant rain
Drip and drop and
Drip and drop and
Drip and dropping
Sliding down my window pane

I know
I know
It come
It go
I know
That I know
Said it come
And it go

Smoking tendrils from the mountain
Roll down heavy on the wind
Say we leave this place tomorrow
Say we never come again

I hear, I hear
Reverberating
Sixteen hooves inside a clock
Tick and tock and
Tick and tock and
Tick and tocking
On my window comes a knock

I know
I know
It come
It go
I know
I know
Said it come
It go

Nothing certain
But this burden
Drawing outlines on a cloud
I'm a window
I'm the wind, oh
I see where this is going, let me out
Oh

Oh, the wind, the wind is formless
In its fragrance, truth, it lies
Sixteen hooves are now upon me
As the moon shuts all its eyes
I feel, I feel I'm looking outward
But I really can't be sure
Clip and clop and
Clip and clop and
Clip and clopping
I fly open, in they pour

I know
I know
It come
It go
I know
That I know
Said it come
It go

Drip and drop and
Drip and drop and
Drip and dropping
Tick and tock and
Tick and tock and
Tick and tocking
Clip and clop and
Clip and clop and
Clip and clopping
Kick and stomp and
Kick and stomp and
Kick and stomping
Stop
