Race With the Wind
As I stand before the silent
Rising sun
And think of a race
That can never be won
A race that can never
Have an end
A race between me and the wind
The wind that bought me
To where I stand
From a comfortable home
To a strange new land
And ruined every hope
And dream that I planned
And made me the saddest of men
I've watched it cause sorrow
And anguish and strife
And in terrible silence
It murdered my wife
And it's come and it's gone
And it's ruined my life
Oh, when will my sorrows all end
And finish my race with the wind?
Now it's turned my hair silver
And it's wrinkled my face
I've run and I've won
'Til I'm too old to chase
And now with my last breath
I can see an end
I've finally won my races with the wind
The terrible wandering wind
Rising sun
And think of a race
That can never be won
A race that can never
Have an end
A race between me and the wind
The wind that bought me
To where I stand
From a comfortable home
To a strange new land
And ruined every hope
And dream that I planned
And made me the saddest of men
I've watched it cause sorrow
And anguish and strife
And in terrible silence
It murdered my wife
And it's come and it's gone
And it's ruined my life
Oh, when will my sorrows all end
And finish my race with the wind?
Now it's turned my hair silver
And it's wrinkled my face
I've run and I've won
'Til I'm too old to chase
And now with my last breath
I can see an end
I've finally won my races with the wind
The terrible wandering wind
