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
