What I'd Give To Be The Wind

I watch the wind blow brown leaves to the ground



And blow along the sidewalks of this town



I can see the wind as it blew her hair



time and time again



Oh what I'd give Lord to be the wind



Oh what I'd give to be the wind



To be free to leave this awful place I'm in



It's hopeless "cos I haven't got a penny



or a friend



Oh what I'd give Lord to be the wind



This same wind tomorrow will be gone



To blow across the cottonfields of home



It will gently touch the lovely face I long to touch again



Oh what I'd give Lord to be the wind



Oh what I'd give to be the wind...
