    Backstory:
    I was looking for information from a former co-writer about a female vocalist we had used years ago for a demo.  My former co-writer replied by email that she didn't have info about her and then said she's in the wind.  Having never heard that expression before I replied "that's a good song title". Then I developed a story around the title.

    Lyrics:
                                                      
    She's in the Wind Saw her work her magic At a Broadway Street cafe Her fingers went up and down the frets Of her ukulele Sang her angst ridden songs Tender melodies She reminded me a little bit Of Alicia Keyes Stopped back every Friday night To hear her brand new tunes Sat in the same red leather booth In that smokey barroom She wowed the crowd with her artistry Made us laugh, made us cry Never thought I'd see the day When her music died Nobody knew why she skipped town Checked out of the Motor Inn Didn't leave an address Or her next of kin Doubt that she'll be gone for long She's just out there wandering She's in the wind Beneath her stage persona Caught a hint of a tortured soul Maybe she needed to break out And regain some control CHORUS She's in the wind She's in the wind She's in the wind
