Lyrics

Oh baby do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand

Oh baby show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore

Heatwave
To nightshade
Oh I’m feeling swept away

Oh baby don’t leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept in the air

You say it’s nothing
But a game to play
Oh I’m feeling swept away

Slow baby you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the tide

A feeling only or a state of mind
Mama take me high mama
Mama take me high
