Song Of The Wind Lyrics - Jean Shepard

I see the shadows as they come to welcome the night 

Treading the time when I know I must turn out the light 

Here in the darkness I lie down to hurt once again 

From loving a mem'ry who's heart sings a song of the wind 

So much like a child yet so very much of a man 

He was a drifter and I wasn't part of his plan 

He needed me when I met him so I took him in 

Not knowing someday he'd follow the song of the wind 

The wind sings the moving song of things that we always dream 

And the man who has heard its call can't leave a thing unseen 

If I should see him and he needs the warmth of a friend 

I'll try to help him for the short time he has spent 

I won't be surprised when I wake and he's gone once again 

For he is a dreamer who follows the songs of the wind 

Yes he is a dreamer who follows the songs of the wind
