I watch the wind blow brown leaves to the ground
And blow along the sidewalks of this town
I can see the wind as it blew her hair
time and time again
Oh what I`d give Lord to be the wind
Oh what I`d give to be the wind
To be free to leave this awful place I`m in
It`s hopeless cos I haven`t got a penny
or a friend
Oh what I`d give Lord to be the wind
This same wind tomorrow will be gone
To blow across the cottonfields of home
It will gently touch the lovely face I long to touch again
Oh what I`d give Lord to be the wind
Oh what I`d give to be the wind...
