This Wind

have you ever seen the far side

of a mountain swallow the sky

as you travel through the valley

and as your speedin still far behind

through the valley where lovers climb



have you ever seen the locust

lean his wings right after a plague

like ascendin of a dark cloud

in the sunlight to end the day

to kill the sunlight, to end the day



yes it will follow the rain



have you ever seen the quiet

indecision of a man

when he's standing by the fire

with an eager friend in his hand

will he ever quite understand



that it will follow the rain

I said oh my friend

it will follow the rain



have you ever seen your baby

getting caught by the lonesome wind

and the whistling round the corners

telling you they have let her in

separation can now begin



Yes, it will follow now the rain.

I said oh my friend.

it will follow the rain

I said oh my friend

it will follow the rain



have you ever seen the far side

of a mountain swallow the sky,

as you travel through the valley

as you're speeding still far behind



through the valley where lovers climb

where the children will blink and sigh

they have caught a lightning strike

in the jar just to watch it die

in the valley where lovers climb

yes it will follow the rain



I said oh my friend

it will follow the rain
