As Big As The Wind

(Karen's Song - lyrics by Andrew Brettell)

the little girl sits all alone in the garden
she rocks to and fro on the creaky old swing
she talks to the birds and the trees and the flowers
and sings she's as big as the wind

the little girl looks all dressed up for a party
long polka-dot dress and a bow in her hair
no party to go to, she passes the hours
by singing she's as big as the wind

most people say they don't know what she means
but I hear her song echoing through my dreams

the sad lady watches her child through the window
remembers the difficult time of her birth
and wishes that people would not think her strange
when she sings she's as big as the wind

most people say they don't know what she means
but I hear her song echoing through my dreams

the little girl's twenty but will not grow older
though years go by she will stay just a child
but she's not unhappy, at least not too often
she knows she's as big as the wind

yes, she knows she's as big as the wind
