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 be friend the will of the wind

i spent so many hours

thingkin'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

so when it begins

get all that you can

you must befriend

the will of the wind
