Winding Wind Lyrics - The Buffalo Skinners - Big Country

lived a thousand years 

In someone else? s shoes 

I lived a thousand lives 

With someone else? s blues 

I talked so many nights 

With voices I don? t know 

Wore someone else? s face 

And hoped it didn? t show 

Oh winding wind 

Oh winding wind 

I made a place for you 

And you made time for me 

And we have promised all the things 

We know will never be 

I waited far too long 

Out on the winding wind 

Dreaming and hoping as the world moved on 

It would blow away my sins 

Oh winding wind 

Oh winding wind 

Everybody? s got a soul to sell 

Everybody? s got a tale to tell 

All about the things that might have been 

Blown away in the winding wind 

And some may change the world 

And some just lose their way 

And some just sit around holding hands 

Praying for a judgment day 

I hear them talking deep in the night 

Wondering if they will make it tonight 

So I will walk with giant men 

At peace among their feet 

And we will cross the wild frontier 

Not ever to retreat 

Oh winding wind 

Oh winding wind 

Everybody? s got a soul to sell 

Everybody? s got a tale to tell 

All about the things that might have been 

Blown away in the winding wind 

Everybody? s got a soul to sell 

Everybody? s got a tale to tell 

All about the things that might have been 

Blown away in the winding wind
