The Wind

As I walked out one morning so fair
I spied a young woman with raven black hair
I could tell right away by the look in her eyes
That here was a woman who's tears would not dry

I asked what her name was
She said it was The Wind
She beckoned I should follow her into the Glen
The lady then led me deep into green
Until we at last stopped by the side of a shaded stream

look into the water her voice said to me
and tell me what it is your heart aches to see
I could not refuse this damsel so fine
So I offered to her my soul and I laid bare my mind

Oh said I, I want to see the world
And Oh said I, I'm looking for a girl
And Oh said I, I want to find love
And Oh I said, I want to be blessed from above

That was when she kissed me and laid me to my knees
And then she touched me with her soft summer's breeze
The Wind she then blew me right up off the ground
For the rest of my lifetime I've been drifting around

Some men want diamonds, some search for black gold
Others want whiskey and treasures untold
Me, I want pleasure, like the wind in the trees
And music played for me in sweet melodies

So if you're out walking one morning so fine
And you happen upon that lady of mine
Tell her that I love her and I always will
And I'll look for her on the sweet side of the hill

And Oh said I, I went and I saw the world
And Oh said I, I've known many girls
And Oh said I, I've lost and found love
And Oh I said, I have been blessed from above
