I spent half my life

Looking for the reasons

things must change .

And half my life trying to

make them stay the same .

But love would fade

like summer into fall;

All that I could see was a mystery ,

It made no sense at all .

The will of the wind ,

you feel it and then ,

It will pass you blowing steady .

It comes and it goes ,

and God only knows ,

You must keep your sails on ready .

So when it begins ,

get all that you can;

You must befriend

the will of the wind .

I spent so many hours

Thinking about the way

things might have been .

And so many hours trying to

bring the good times back again .

And so it goes

for lonely hearted fools;

They let their days slip away ,

Until they give into ...

The will of the wind ,

you feel it and then ,

It will pass you blowing steady .

It comes and it goes ,

and God only knows ,

You must keep your sails on ready .

So when it begins ,

get all that you can;

You must befriend

the will of the wind .

So when it begins ,

get all that you can;

You must befriend

the will of the wind
