Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Dust devils spin where the kitchen fire burned
Sky hangs like lead, ain't nowhere left to turn
Year bleeds out slow, leaves a scar upon the land
Folks scatter out like dry leaves, trouble chews the sand
Ragged canvas flaps low and frayed
Down in Rafah, on this broken ground we prayed.

[Chorus]
Oh, wind howls through Rafah tonight, low among the stones
Whispers from the ruins and the empty window bones
Peace talk rings so hollow, like old papers blowin' by
How long, oh how long, must we drink this cup run dry?

[Bridge]
Politicians talk pretty from their towers far away
Turnin' people into numbers, cold figures in their play
Put on a face of sympathy, then look the other way
But the wind here remembers, yeah, the wind keeps score each day.

[Chorus]
Oh, wind howls through Rafah tonight, low among the stones
Whispers from the ruins and the empty window bones
Peace talk rings so hollow, like old papers blowin' by
How long, oh how long, must we drink this cup run dry?

[Outro]
How long... how long...
Rafah wind... blowin' on...
...blowin' sad...
