I spent half my life

Looking at 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

Thinkin' 'bout 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

You must befriend the will of the wind

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
