Lyrics to Windswept

Lyrics to the song Windswept as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

(Ferry)
Oh baby do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand

Oh baby oh show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore

Heatwave to nightshade
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Oh I
Oh I (swept away)
Oh I

Oh baby don't leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept in the air

You say it's nothing
But a game to play
Oh I'm feeling swept away

Slow baby you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the tide

A feeling only or a state of mind
Mama take me high mama
Mama take me high
Oh I (swept away)
Oh baby
Oh I (swept away)
Oh baby
Oh I (swept away)
Oh baby
Oh I (feeling swept away)
Oh baby
Oh I (feeling swept away)
