Franciosa

Later covered by David Bowie on his 1976 Station to Station album.

Love me, love me, say you do

Let me fly away with you

For my love is like the wind

And wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress

Satisfy this hungriness

Let the wind blow through your heart

For wild is the wind

You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins

You kiss me, and with your kiss the world begins

You’re Spring to me, all things to me

You’re life itself

Like a leaf clings to a tree

Oh, my darling, cling to me

For we’re creatures of the wind

And wild is the wind, the wind

Wild is my love for you
