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’ Pre-Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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" Verse 2: 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 Pre-Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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" Bridge: Aim my boombox 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 boombox 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 Chorus: We can talk about the noise, when you're ready, but 'til then I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind" I'll say, "It must have been the wind, must have been the wind Must have been the wind, it must have been the wind"
