lyrics

Oh, My Wind

Oh the wind is like a friend of mine, she is fickle to a fault
One minute solid as a tree, and the next not worth her salt

That’s why she’s so fine, that’s why she’s not mine
Think of all she’s touched, still she gives so much…
Oh, my wind, where you been, I thought you said you’d write
Oh, my wind, where you been, I waited up all night

Oh the wind is like a friend of mine, she has a temper like a carving knife
She doesn’t do it to be mean, but now and then she’ll take a slice

That’s why she’s so fine, that’s why she’s not mine
Think of all she’s touched, still she gives so much…
Oh, my wind, where you been, I thought you said you’d write
Oh, my wind, where you been, I waited up all night

Some blue Monday I’ll be under such a heavy cloud
With no way to turn my lonely head but down
Then my wind will blow on in and turn my life around
She’ll come runnin’, I’ll bet she’s thumbin’, just outside of town

Oh the wind is like a friend of mine, her fatal flaw is her saving grace
If she didn’t get around, I’d never see her lovely face

That’s why she’s so fine, that’s why she’s not mine
Think of all she’s touched, still she gives so much…
Oh, my wind, where you been, I thought you said you’d write
Oh, my wind, where you been, I waited up all night
