When the angry sky, opens up its mouth
And lays down a belt of rain from the north to the south
Close your windows and close all your doors
And pray for those men who fall upon rocky shores
And when the hungry road, points its finger at your heart
And says, "Stranger follow me, I will show you where to start"
Well, don't make a move to the left or the right
Or them hounds are gonna get you, send you running
Screaming through the stormy night
And one windy night, a flickering light
Caught the eye of a passing angel as she was in flight
She came to the door and there she saw a young soldier crying
As he lay dying from a wound of war
And that angel of the Lord, took the form of a girl
And knelt by the boy and said, "I will help you to that other world”
Oh, rest your weary soul, lay your head upon my shoulder
Press your trembling hand in mine until the night is over
For that Devil wants you but you are a soldier
And with a friend by your side there's no need to hide
Until the fight is over
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh Lord on this windy night
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh Lord on this windy night
So if you need help on a windy night
Be sure to leave a candle burning so a friend can see the light
There may be a stranger come looking for you
And it may be an angel of the Lord
Come to bring you better news on a windy night
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh Lord on this windy night
Oh hear me, hear me Lord, ohh
Oh Lord on my windy night
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh Lord on this windy night
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh Lord on this windy night
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh Lord on this windy night
