I TALK TO THE WIND
(McDonald, Sinfield)
Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
I’ve been here and I’ve been there
And I’ve been in between.
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.
I’m on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me.
You don’t possess me
Don’t impress me
Just upset my mind
Can’t instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time.
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.
