No wind when I took the watch
My ship was still and waitin'
I lay on that mirrored sky
A restless sailor waitin'
I closed my eyes said the Words of will
For the gentle breathin' that moves the seas
Make my sails fill
Whisper waves cloud the glass
Awake at last like a lover
It rushed around talkin' sweet
Roll over, roll over, roll over
And in my ear it blew its name
You know it sound so strange but I heard it plain
Mistral Mistral wind
I have always held the wheel but
I let the wind steal my power
Spin me 'round lose my course
My nights run be like hours
Well, it would show me the way
To the deepest mountains
Too high, too beautiful to be
Mistral, mistral wind
All the hours on the watch I wait
I wait for that breeze to move me
And blow me back to that place
Magic space all through me
And I cry your name
Across the empty water
You made a crazy dreamer out of me
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral
