20470315_sAbout this song: I dated a woman for a short time who was a runner… I had this whole imaginary thing going where we would run together and it would be so romantic and cool… and then… well it just never went any further than that because basically I do NOT like running! LOL… Like a lot of people I like the IDEA of running… and this song makes me WANT to run… BUT I think I’d rather just play the guitar.

Wind On My Skin

Song # 470   |  3/31/13   |   Purest Form of Trance CD

I want to run with a woman who runs with the wolves
I want to howl at the moon till it rises full
Wind. On my skin…
I want to turn the wine back into water
Spend the night with a ninja’s daughter
Wind. On my skin…

I don’t know if I believe in God
But I’m pretty sure  God believes in me
Wind. On my skin…
I want to scream past a barn, shout down a storm
Open up my stride in perfect form.

Wind. On my skin…

Refrain:
Wind on my skin is the house I live in
Wind on my skin is the house I live in

Cast your demons to the curb
Each step takes you deeper into the world
Wind. On your skin…
I love the way you run… wild horse free
Kicking up your heels so easily
Wind. On your skin…
I want to grab your mane and hitch a ride
With my song in your heart you will find your stride
Wind. On your skin…

Refrain:
Wind on your skin is the house you live in
Wind on your skin is the house you live in

Love yourself out into the world
Give yourself to Life like a sail unfurls
Wind. On your skin…
Run with the sun burning off the mist
Run the way a lover gently insists
Wind. On your skin

Refrain:
Wind on your skin is the house you live in
Wind on your skin is the house you live in

Bridge:
Drumming out the rhythm of the road yeah….

I want to run with a woman who runs with the wolves
I want to howl at the moon till it rises full
Wind. On my skin…
I want to turn the wine back into water
Spend the night with a ninja’s daughter
Wind. On my skin…

Wind on my skin is the house I live in…
Wind on your skin is the house you live in…
Wind on our skin is the house we live in…

I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

I Love listening to all your songs…

Mark, you really are an amazing songwriter! I Love listening to all your songs and sitting in the creative aura they create!

Cheri

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)
