    Stormwind

    by: Europe

    I like to sit beside the fire
    When the light is going down
    I like to hear the wild wind blow outside my door
    I have so much left to remember
    I have so much left to forget
    And I know I just don't have to search for more
    But you want to change my world
    Stay out of my life
    Stormwind you're just like a wind
    Comin' to drag me away
    Stormwind what can I say?
    I just don't want you to stay
    Stormwind you're just like a wind
    Comin' to drag me away
    Stormwind what can I say?
    I just don't want you to stay
    I don't want you to stay
    I like to walk around in dreams at night
    And play with kings and queens 'til the morning light
    I like to wake up in the morning unaware
    Of the fact that you are calling me
    To ask me if I want to be
    Someone who you could love and always care for
    You want to change my world
    Stay out of my life
    Storm wind you're just like a wind
    Comin' to drag me away
    Stormwind what can I say
    I just don't want you to stay
    Storm wind you're just like a wind
    Comin', comin', to drag me away
    Stormwind what can I say?
    I just don't want you to stay, stay
    Just a Storm wind
    Storm wind you're just like a wind
    Comin', to drag me away
    Stormwind what can I say?
    I just don't want you
    Don't want you to, want you to stay
    Storm wind you're just like a wind
    Comin', comin', comin' to drag me away
    Stormwind what can I say?
    I just don't want you to stay
    Storm wind you're just like a wind
    Comin', comin', comin' to drag me away
    Stormwind what can I say?
    I just don't want you, don't want you to stay
    Storm wind you're just like a wind
    Comin', to drag me away
    Storm wind what can I say no, no?
