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 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
