| Comments: |
I wrote "You're Like The Wind" about my girlfriend at the time ... a puzzling, on-again-off-again relationship (hey, it's a puzzling on-again-off-again song). The chord progression and melody was partly inspired by John Lennon's "Imagine". Prism recorded the song for their second album, "See Forever Eyes" (1978). I'd quit the band the year before, and I still wasn't getting along with some of the members, particularly guitarist Lindsay Mitchell. In a moment of misguided anger I nearly "pulled" the song from the album, which would have been stupid and childish (we were all a bit hot-headed back then). |

Lyrics:
|
You're always changing Sometimes we're friends Sometimes we're strangers All I ever wanted from you Was just to hear you say you love me too But you won't see me You won't see me You're like the sun I can't get near you Just like a song But I can't hear you All I'm really tryin' to say Is that I seem to need you more each day But you won't see me No, you won't see me (Solo) You're like the wind You're always changing Sometimes we're friends Sometimes we're strangers All I'm really tryin' to say Is that I seem to need you more each day But you won't see me You won't see me |
