David, the wind blows, the wind blows
Bits of your life away
Your friends all say
"Where is our boy? Oh, we've lost our boy"
But they should know
Where you've gone
Because again and again you've explained that
You're going to, oh oh
Yes, you're going to
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
England for the English
England for the English
David, the winds blow, the winds blow
All of my dreams away
And I still say
"Where is our boy? Ah, have we lost our boy"
But I should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the
National, ah to the National
There's a country, you don't live there
But one day you would like to
And if you show them what you're made of
David, we wonder, we wonder if the thunder
Is ever really gonna begin
Oh begin, oh begin
Your mom says, "I've lost my boy"
But she should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the
National, to the National, to the National, oh
Because you want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
