Had a lover out in santa cruz But i left him to sing the blues Listen to the wind — listen to the wind Thought that i'd left love behind But love is just a state of mind Listen to the wind — listen to the wind Listen to the wind and the drivin' rain Listen close and you'll hear 'em say That what goes 'round Will come around again Listen to the wind I made a lot of music and it got me high But nashville left me high and dry Listen to the wind — listen to the wind I got so cold i almost froze But something whispered to my soul Listen to the wind — listen to the wind Listen to the wind and the drivin' rain Listen close and you'll hear 'em sayin' That what goes 'round Will come around again Listen to the wind Everybody needs somebody to see them through Everybody needs someone like i need you — i need you The sixties came, the sixties went: We let the court appoint a president Listen to the wind — listen to the wind This old world's wild she won't be tamed, The only thing you can trust is change Listen to the wind — listen to the wind Listen to the wind and the drivin' rain Listen close and you'll hear 'em say That what goes 'round Will come around again Listen to the wind Everybody needs somebody to see them through Everybody needs someone like i need you — i need you Had a lover out in santa cruz But i left him to sing the blues Listen to the wind — listen to the wind Listen to the wind — listen to the wind Listen to the wind — listen to the wind
