Have you heard about the Ashidas, no one’s seen them since Christmas
Heard that they left during the night the husband, the wife, and the child
Said nothing to anyone in the morning they were gone
But after what they had been through who could blame them

It was only last winter they moved here to that big ol’ house on the hill
We had no snow the whole winter, the weather man blamed the foehn wind
Said it made it too warm for the snow to fall
but nobody here had ever heard of such a thing

Foehn wind
Foehn wind

She was pregnant and he had invested in a local business plan
But his partner ran off with all of their money and the ultra sound didn’t go as planned
And he got arrested drunk out of his mind
And when he got out there was no life in his eyes

The baby was born twelve weeks premature by emergency surgery
The first time she held her son she asked why did he stop breathing
The husband ran screaming down the hallway, they made it in time
but it took two months before they got home

Foehn wind…

The first few months were rough there was so much to learn and do
The baby couldn’t eat on his own so he was fed through a gastric tube
He had to be fed every four hours
and it took more than an hour and a half at a time

But sometimes you’d see them and hear them through the open window at night
Holding each other their voices joined in a quiet lullaby
Heard that they moved back in with his folks,
I guess in times like that you need people around you

Foehn wind…
