Where the Wind Blows
The Mick Fleetwood Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It whispers my name
With promises made of tomorrow
As sure as the darkness will swallow the day
Where the wind blows, I will follow
The highway is calling
It dares me to fly
I'm only beginning to understand why
And surely my heart has been broken
There's a full moon above
Staring down from the sky
To a world that is captive and frozen
Imprisoned in chains 'til the day that we die
While freedom's a word that is spoken
The wild wind is rising
It whispers my name
With promises made of tomorrow
As sure as the darkness will swallow the day
Where the wind blows, I will follow
Oh, Mary, my love
Tell me what have you done?
You left me so cold in the morning
I swore to the stars you were always the one
And now I'm alone without warning
I came by myself
And I'll leave just the same
In search of a rhyme or a reason
Your tears cannot keep me from running away
When there's nothing left to believe in
The wild wind is rising
It whispers my name
With promises made of tomorrow
As sure as the darkness will swallow the day
Where the wind blows, I will follow...
The Mick Fleetwood Band's song "Where the Wind Blows" takes us on a journey of self-discovery and freedom. The opening line, "The wild wind is rising, it whispers my name," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's about being drawn to the unknown, taking risks, and trusting that everything will eventually fall into place. The singer is willing to go wherever the wind takes him, hoping that he will find a sense of purpose and direction. He may not know what's ahead of him, but he's willing to keep going.
The lyrics also touch on heartbreak and the need to escape. The melody is melancholic, and there's a sense of longing in the singer's voice as he sings about his lost love, Mary. He's confused and hurt, but he knows that he can't stay in the same place. He wants to find something that makes him feel alive and free again.
The song ends with the same lines as the beginning, "Where the wind blows, I will follow." It's a poetic way of saying that life is unpredictable, but we have to keep moving forward and embracing the unknown. We may not always know where we're headed, but we have to trust that the journey itself is what really matters.

The wild wind is rising
The force of wind is picking up
It whispers my name
The sound of the wind is calling my attention
With promises made of tomorrow
The wind is giving hope for the future
As sure as the darkness will swallow the day
Just as night falls, the future may be uncertain and engulfed by darkness.
Where the wind blows, I will follow
I'm willing to go wherever the wind leads me
The highway is calling
The road is beckoning me
It dares me to fly
The road challenges me to take risks
Out where the sky is still open
I want to go where the possibilities are endless
I'm only beginning to understand why
I am just starting to figure out my true purpose
And surely my heart has been broken
I have experienced heartache and pain before
There's a full moon above
The moon is shining down upon us
Staring down from the sky
The moon seems to be watching over us
To a world that is captive and frozen
The moon illuminates a world that feels trapped and stuck
Imprisoned in chains 'til the day that we die
We may feel confined and trapped until the end of our lives
While freedom's a word that is spoken
We talk about freedom but may not always feel it
Oh, Mary, my love
A personal message to a specific person named Mary
Tell me what have you done?
A question to Mary about her actions
You left me so cold in the morning
Mary may have caused emotional pain by leaving abruptly
I swore to the stars you were always the one
I made a promise to myself that Mary was the right person for me
And now I'm alone without warning
Feeling isolated and alone, which was unexpected
I came by myself
I arrived alone
And I'll leave just the same
I plan to depart by myself as well
In search of a rhyme or a reason
I am looking for answers or explanation
Your tears cannot keep me from running away
Despite Mary's sadness, I will still choose to leave
When there's nothing left to believe in
When things are uncertain, and my faith is dwindling
The wild wind is rising
The force of wind is picking up
It whispers my name
The sound of the wind is calling my attention
With promises made of tomorrow
The wind is giving hope for the future
As sure as the darkness will swallow the day
Just as night falls, the future may be uncertain and engulfed by darkness.
Where the wind blows, I will follow
I'm willing to go wherever the wind leads me
