Windswept
"Windswept" is a single performed by Bryan Ferry, the lead vocalist for Roxy Music. The track is the third and final single from the chart-topping album Boys and Girls which was released in 1985, but unlike the previous singles it didn't perform too well on the charts. The song appeared in the Miami Vice episode "The Prodigal Son".
The track features David Gilmour, the former guitarist for Pink Floyd.
The UK version of the single has four tracks which included a new track ("Broken Wings") and covers of "Crazy Love" (by Van Morrison) and "Feel the Need" (by Abrim Tilmon).

Windswept (Steuben, Maine)
Windswept is a historic summer cottage at 421 Petit Manan Point Road in Steuben, Maine. Built sometime between 1928 and 1934, it was from 1941 until 1955 the summer home of Mary Ellen Chase (1887-1973), one of Maine's most important regional writers of the period. It was the inspiration for her bestselling work, Windswept. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
Description and history
Windswept is located in southern Steuben, a coastal community of Down East Maine. It is on the west side of Petit Manan Point near its southern end, set on 5 acres (2.0 ha) at Yellow Birch Point. The main house is a single story wood frame structure, consisting of two equal-sized gabled sections set parallel to each other and joined by a cross-gabled hyphen. The structure is oriented facing southwest, about 100 feet (30 m) from the shore, with views over grasses and low blueberry bushes to the Gulf of Maine and the Schoodic Peninsula. A low picket fence creates a courtyard between the wings east of the hyphen, and a wide deck extends across the western facade. The window shutters have pine tree cutouts, and the building exhibits restrained Colonial Revival symmetry. To the northeast of the house is a small barn with attached shed, both of uncertain date. The complex is sheltered to the east by a small copse of trees, through which its access drive passes.

Windswept
by: Boy Hits Caras i step outside this bitter conflict of life
i ponder if her cries can stop the star from flight
the fall wind blows
off the ocean
as it whist by the tips of trees
who were silent
just like i am
at the sight of their dying leaves
and i've just returned
from the first time we have heard
realizing what i had
guess i'll never get it back
oh-oh
and look at how windswept my life's become
since you left
your nowhere but my spinning head
she use to walk
beside the pier
as the break water disabled
the coming swirls
so i run there
to find lover all strewn all about
and i can't believe
i let you go
laying here sad and alone
guess you left
to go find peace
are you happier without me?
and look at how windswept my life's become
since you left
you're nowhere but my spinning head
no one seems to understand
how your scent blows off the ocean
i can't believe i let you go
laying here so sad and all
a-alone
a alone
all the thing i cannot change
alone
all the things that trouble me
all the times we find who we are
alone
all the things i didn't see
and the only thing i cannot
alone
how the blowing wind survived
becuase you're so full of
alone
so why you steal my wave!
so remember
we had good times
and i never forget your lies
so does our love
and the sea
feeling us all torn and broken
oh-oh
and look at how windswept my life's become
since you left
you're nowhere but my spinning head
no one seems to understand
but your scent blows off the ocean
i can't believe i let you go
laying here so dal and alone
