Lyrics Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull

Blowin' In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you can call him a man ?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand ?

How many times can a cannon ball fly

Before they're forever banned ?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it is washed to the sea ?

How many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free ?

How many times can a man turn his head,

And pretend that he just doesn't see ?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times can a man look up

Before he can see the sky ?

How many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry ?

How many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died ?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind.
