When I'm a loose-leaf page caught up in hurricane
When I twist and I fold and I fall a child's paper aeroplane
I go to pieces but you catch me, you don't let me break on the pavement
I want you to know that you blow me away
Quite unexpected, a cool desert rain
A gust of wind that starts to spin this rusted weather vane
It's not the drums and the brass as they pound and they blast
When they pass in street parade
It's the silence right after you laugh that blows me away
You blow me away
You blow me away
After years and years it appears nothing has changed
It stays the same, it never fades you blow me away
It's a dynamite moon spilling diamonds and jewels on a black silver wave
It's the city at night, electric and bright, it's a getaway car in my veins
It's the feeling on top a mountain after years spent walking the plain
It's hard to describe, to get the words right, to say that you blow me away
You blow me away
You blow me away
After years and years it appears nothing has changed
You're the light of day in my own dark age
You're the fire brigade when the whole thing goes up in flames
You blow me away
You blow me away
Not talking the terrible thunder that comes from the gun of a tank
Not the crack of the pistol, boom of missile
The sound barrier when it finally breaks
It's the soft the way you move through the room with a dancer's grace
I tremble right into your limbs I'm born again
You blow me away
You blow me away
You blow me away
You blow my mind like a dandelion trying to stand against the hot hair dryer
Like a gospel choir to the lord almighty, singing at the top of their lungs
You blow me over, a saxophone solo, rapid arpeggio, stinging staccato note
Cannonball Adderley, mono to stereo, here until kingdom come
What you do, blow me away
What you do, blow me away
You blow me away
You blow me away
You blow me away
