Lonesome Old Wind lyrics

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.
