Lonesome Old Wind

Though I try

hard as I can to fly free

that lonesome old wind keeps blowing me

I would stay

where your loving warms me night and day

close to thee

but that lonesome old wind keeps blowing me

You say this time

I must be out of my mind

Oh and I'm sure it's true

But that old wind is bending me

that old wind is sending me

and letting go is all I know how to do

Sometimes

there's a small boy in this head of mine

whispers "let it be"

but that lonesome old wind keeps blowing me

Your say I'm cruel

and you call me a fool

Oh yes and I agree

but that old wind is driving me

it wrestles and it writhes in me

and alone is all I know how to be

And when I fall

burst and broken, barely fit to crawl

hand to knee

that lonesome old wind keeps blowing me
