I've 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 be friend the will of the wind

I've spent so many hours

Just thinkin' 'bout the way things might have been

(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 (let their days) slipe 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 be friend the will of the wind

(The will of the wind, you feel it again), oh

(It will pass you blowing steady)

And God only knows (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 be friend the will of the wind

So when it begins, get all that you can

You must be friend the will of the wind
