Lyrics
:

Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
�Son, you reap whatever you sow�
I sow the seeds of my love
Deep undying true love I sow

There is beauty out there somewhere
I will leave no stone unturned
There is a guitar and a bugle
I hear the sound of distant drums
Fire and water rage through my mind
Love on this wasteland I cannot find

And there is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears

There is virtue truth abounding 
Peace will come to everyman
There is a landmark on the skyline
There is a sign standing in the road
Sail on my brother sail on through the night
Love on this wasteland is waiting on down the line

And there is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind that's a blowing
Tearing down my tears

Forty days in the desert sand
Forty nights on my hands and knees
Forty days in the howling wind
In the howling wind

Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
�Son, you reap whatever you sow�
I sow the seeds of my love, my love
Deep undying true love's what I sow

And there is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind that's a blowing
Tearing down my tears

A HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And there's a wild wild wind that's a blowing
Tearing down my tears
