The North Wind (Lyric) by Ranger

I don't care where the wicked North Wind blows There's a feeling inside that unendingly grows Can I see a star that permanently glows? Well maybe in the end it all just goes to show Said I'm really not bothered where the wild wind blows I'm restless on my own, so soon I may follow There's a voice within the breeze that always cries out loud But with each silver lining there has to be a cloud I'm giving up my life to chase a feather in the wind And if I should now catch you then you must soon give in And fragile as a flower's dream my heart splits alone All the while the wheel of time's rolling on home I tried to say you're somebody to me Not merely anybody I suppose I could live without But what kind of life would that be? Despite my words I didn't say what I wished to It wasn't veiled, I hoped you'd see through Every little thing I told you is true But I wasn't brave enough to say I love you

Okey-dokey then, I'll start with the title. I think that it was just the primary idea that sparked the whole thing off, and it kind of reflected how I wanted the poem to feel.
I was trying to write a song in the style of Reef (I try to imitate groups sometimes to see if I can, and if it's easy. Generally I don't use the things I write in this way for any particular purpose i.e. my group). Anyhoo, I ended up writing various two-liners that didn't really resemble Reef, but I thought "Hey, I'll put them together and see what it sounds like". I thought that some of it worked well, although in retrospect some of it is pretty naff and cliched.
Anyway, I enjoyed writing it and maybe if I've got time I'll try to improve it. Thank you for your observations-it's what I put poems on this site for!
