[Verse 1] The grass leans low Under boots and dust Donetsk steppe Where the horizon cuts A rusted fence A broken cart Sun on the field And a stubborn heart [Pre-Chorus] I can hear That long wind call It pulls me out Then holds me still [Chorus] Steppe wind, steppe wind Carry me home Steppe wind, steppe wind I walk alone Wide brown ground And a sky so open Steppe wind, steppe wind Keep me going [Verse 2] Blackbirds lift From a stubble edge Old tracks sleep In the cold field bed My hands know earth My eyes know flame Every mile Still says your name [Pre-Chorus] I can feel That long road bend It brings me back Again and again [Chorus] Steppe wind, steppe wind Carry me home Steppe wind, steppe wind I walk alone Wide brown ground And a sky so open Steppe wind, steppe wind Keep me going [Bridge] When the clouds come down And the light goes thin I remember how The hard ground wins Not by force But by staying there By taking the storm And still being bare [Final Chorus] Steppe wind, steppe wind Carry me home Steppe wind, steppe wind I walk alone Wide brown ground And a sky so open Steppe wind, steppe wind Keep me going Steppe wind, steppe wind Keep me going
