Wind of most cruel kind
Blows through abandoned playground
Corroded slides and tangled swings
Creak and moan wistfully
Through sandbox filled with dirt
Through broken carousel
Wind of most cruel kind
Blows joy and love away
Just rust'n'dust
Everything else has faded
Long summer days, mother's embrace
All things uncomplicated
Just rust'n'dust
Everything else is wasted
Pure happiness, true innocence
All rust'n'dust now, baby
Wind of most cruel kind
Blows between walls of our house
The smell of home is now long gone
Just like a spark in your eye
Just rust'n'dust
Everything else has faded
Long summer days, mother's embrace
All things uncomplicated
Just rust'n'dust
Everything else is wasted
Pure happiness, true innocence
All rust'n'dust now, baby
Wind of most cruel kind
Blows through the holes in our hearts
Blows through the holes in our hearts
