  1. I heard glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine

  2. At first I thought that I was dreamin'

  3. But then I heard the voice of a girl

  4. And it sounded like she'd been cryin'

  5. Now I'm too worried to be sleepin'

  6. So I took the elevator to the second floor

  7. Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

  8. She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing

  9. She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"

  10. Sweater zipped up to her chin

  11. "Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you

  12. But I have to go back in

  13. Wish I could tell you about the noise

  14. But I didn't hear a thing"

  15. She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

  16. Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

  17. She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

  18. Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

  19. So I was layin' on the floor of my room

  20. Cold concrete on my back

  21. No, I just couldn't shake the feeling

  22. I didn't want to intrude because I knew that I didn't have all the facts

  23. But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her

  24. So I took the elevator to the second floor

  25. Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

  26. She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing

  27. She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"

  28. Sweater zipped up to her chin

  29. "Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you

  30. But I have to go back in

  31. Wish I could tell you about the noise

  32. But I didn't hear a thing"

  33. She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

  34. Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

  35. She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

  36. Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

  37. Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing, "Lean on me"

  38. Just so that she knows that she can lean on me

  39. And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay

  40. Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing, "Lean on me"

  41. Just so that she knows that she can lean on me

  42. And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say

  43. "Promise I'm not playing tricks on you

  44. You're always welcome to come in

  45. You could stay here for an hour or two

  46. If you ever need a friend"

  47. "We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but till then"

  48. I say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

  49. Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

  50. I say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

  51. Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind

Must Have Been the Wind

I heard glass shatter on the wall in the apartment above mine

At first I thought that I was dreamin'

But then I heard the voice of a girl

And it sounded like she'd been cryin'

Now I'm too worried to be sleepin'

So I took the elevator to the second floor

Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing

She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"

Sweater zipped up to her chin

"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you

But I have to go back in

Wish I could tell you about the noise

But I didn't hear a thing"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

So I was layin' on the floor of my room

Cold concrete on my back

No, I just couldn't shake the feeling

I didn't want to intrude because I knew that I didn't have all the facts

But I couldn't bear the thought of leavin' her

So I took the elevator to the second floor

Walked down the hall and then I knocked upon her door

She opened up and I asked about the things I've been hearing

She said, "I think your ears are playing tricks on you"

Sweater zipped up to her chin

"Thanks for caring, sir, that's nice of you

But I have to go back in

Wish I could tell you about the noise

But I didn't hear a thing"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

She said, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing, "Lean on me"

Just so that she knows that she can lean on me

And when she hears the words, I hope she knows she'll be okay

Aim my boom box at the roof, I'm playing, "Lean on me"

Just so that she knows that she can lean on me

And when she hears the words, I know exactly what I'll say

"Promise I'm not playing tricks on you

You're always welcome to come in

You could stay here for an hour or two

If you ever need a friend"

"We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but till then"

I say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"

I say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind

Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind
