winding wind

i lived a thousand years

in someone else's shoes

i lived a thousand lives

with someone else's blues

i talked so many nights

with voices i don't know

wore someone else's face

and hoped it didn't show

oh winding wind

oh winding wind

i made a place for you

and you made time for me

and we have promised all the things

we know will never be

i waited far too long

out on the winding wind

dreaming and hoping as the world moved on

it would blow away my sins

oh winding wind

oh winding wind

everybody's got a soul to sell

everybody's got a tale to tell

all about the things that might have been

blown away in the winding wind

and some may change the world

and some just lose their way

and some just sit around holding hands

praying for a judgment day

i hear them talking deep in the night

wondering if they will make it tonight

so i will walk with giant men

at peace among their feet

and we will cross the wild frontier

not ever to retreat

oh winding wind

oh winding wind

everybody's got a soul to sell

everybody's got a tale to tell

all about the things that might have been

blown away in the winding wind

everybody's got a soul to sell

everybody's got a tale to tell

all about the things that might have been

blown away in the winding wind
