  • Could you see the aisles of women?
    Could you see them screaming and weeping?
    Could you see the storm rising?
    Could you see the guy who was driving?
    Could you climb higher and higher?
    Could you climb right over the top?
    Why does a multi-millionaire
    Fill up his home with priceless junk?

    The wind is whistling
    The wind is whistling
    Through the house

    Elvis, are you out there somewhere
    Looking like a happy man?
    In the snow with Rosebud
    And king of the mountain

    Another Hollywood waitress
    Is telling us she's having your baby
    And there's a rumor that you're on ice
    And you will rise again someday
    And that there's a photograph
    Where you're dancing on your grave

    The wind is whistling
    The wind is whistling
    Through the house

    Elvis, are you out there somewhere
    Looking like a happy man?
    In the snow with Rosebud
    And king of the mountain

    The wind, it blows
    The wind, it blows the door closed Writer/s: KATE BUSH

  • Philip from Akron, OhThis song was released some 10 years after it was recorded (similar in age to the b-side recording, a cover of "Sexual Healing" originally done for an album by the Uileann-pipe player Donal Luney).
