A man and a woman come together as strangers

When they part they're usually strangers still

It's like a practical joke played on us by our Maker

Empty bottles that can't be filled


[Chorus]

Baby who's to say it could have been different now that it's done

Baby who's to say that it should have been, anyway

Baby who's to say that it even matters in the long run

Give it just a minute

And it will blow away

It'll blow away


You fancy me to be the master of your feelings

You barely bruise me with your looks to kill

Though I admit we were sometimes brutal in our dealings

I never held you against your will


[chorus]


Your case against me is so very clearly stated

I plead no contest, I just turn and shrug

I've come to figure all importance overestimated

You must mean water when you beg for blood (note 1)


[chorus]


Like a feather in a whirlwind

Blow away

Just as sure as the world spins

Blow away

[etc]
