There is a wind, my billy, and it's awful strong
Come for you, and anyone who's helped you along.
But i want to live, live, live and let the stars shine bright
Yes, i want to live, live, live and let it on alright
And when that bird sings from over that silver wall
I don't want to fight it, billy, 'cause i want to go
There's a northern wind, billy, blowin' up a southern change
And a northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange
There's a northern wind, billy, blowin' up a southern change
And a northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange
And with this gun goes everything i want to say
Not for you, but for anyone who takes it away
Let it fill his life, life, life until there's nothing left
Let it k** his wife, wife, wife until he goes to bed
And when that bird sings from over that silver wall
I don't want to fight it, billy, 'cause i want to go
There's a northern wind, billy, blowin' up a southern change
And a northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange
There's a northern wind, billy, blowin' up a southern change
And a northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange
