Brother Wind — текст песни (Tim O`Brien)

Made up my mind to go
Some place so far away, I headed west
Without a sad goodbye
No hugs or tears that way, it`s probably for the best
Sent cards along the way
Said I was looking for a brand new life
I never settled down
My wanderlust would always cut the ties like a knife
Sometimes the lonesome wind
Calls out just like it knows me
And on a night like this
When I don`t know where to go, he shows me the way

He knows me, my brother wind
He`s lonely too and he takes me away

I always looked ahead
I was so afraid that I`d be caught behind
Followed a crooked stream
To places I`d never seen and one more highway sign
Just like some other guys
I count the hours `til the day will end
But it`s not so I can rest
For me it`s the time that`s best for talking to my friend

Cause he knows me, my brother wind
He`s lonely too and he takes me away

Now half my life is gone
The only home I have is open road
My skin is cracked and brown
A mirror to the dessert ground and the dusty wind that blows
I never made a mark
Just scattered footsteps on the shifting sand
Whatever pushes me
It`s something only he can understand

He knows me, my brother wind
He`s lonely too and he takes me away
