I 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
