Windswept
Bryan Ferry Roxy Music Lyrics

Oh baby do it again and again
The singer desires for their lover to continue their actions repeatedly.

I can hear nothing
The singer is so entranced and focused on their lover that all other sounds fade away.

Windswept is the sand
The sand is scattered and moved by the wind, just as the singer feels moved and shaken by their emotions for their lover.

Oh baby show me more
The artist is eager for their lover to continue their actions and show them more affection.

I can see nothing
The artist is so entranced and focused on their lover that all other sights fade away.

Windswept is the shore
The shore is altered by the wind, just as the singer's emotions and desires are changing and fluctuating due to their love.

Heatwave to nightshade
The singer's emotions seem to shift from a passionate heat to a cooler, darker feeling.

Oh I'm feeling swept away
The artist is overwhelmed and affected by their emotions, just as winds can sweep people and objects away in their path.

Oh baby don't leave me there
The artist fears being abandoned by their lover, as they are consumed with their feelings.

With a low whisper
The lover speaks softly and intimately to the artist.

Windswept on the air
The wind carries the lover's words and actions, which affect the singer.

You say it's nothing
The lover dismisses or downplays their actions, but the artist is still affected and swept away by them.

But a game to play
The lover may see their actions as a game or something casual, but the singer is taking them seriously and becoming emotionally involved.

Slow baby you can take your time
The singer encourages their lover to continue their actions, taking their time and savoring the moment.

I can hear nothing
The singer is again so entranced and focused on their lover that all other sounds fade away.

Windswept is on the tide
The tides are constantly changing and moving, just as the artist's emotions and desires are changing and affected by their love.

A feeling only or state of mind
The artist acknowledges that their emotions and feelings may be subjective and not based in reality.

You can take me high mama
The singer allows their lover to control their emotions and desires, lifting them up and affecting them.

Mama take me high
The singer again beckons their lover to control their feelings and lift them up to new heights of emotion and passion.
