Blown By The Wind

Alan Parsons


All along the shoreline 
There are footprints by the sea 
They head into the distance... 
Then they lead right back to me 
I made the break to freedom 
Now I'm following the dream 
You're never going to get here 
If you hold the old routine

Now everything we possess 
That fills our empty lives 
Is only good for leaving far behind

We are blown by the wind 
Just like clouds in the sky 
We don't know where we're going, 
Don't know why 
We just ride with the wind 
And we'll drive through the rain 
We don't where we'll get to 
Or if we'll get back again

Call along the valley 
And you just may find us there 
I couldn't say for certain 
Cause we may be anywhere 
Head into the sunset 
Or just wander out to sea 
Wherever your heart leads you 
Is the place you're meant to be

And someone who could be impressed 
With ordinary lies 
Could really use a little peace of mind

We are blown by the wind 
Just like clouds in the sky 
We don't know where we'll go, 
But we'll get by 
We just ride with the wind 
And we'll drive through the rain 
We don't where we'll get to 
Or if we'll get back again

Now everything we possess 
That fills our empty lives 
Is only good for leaving far behind

We are blown by the wind 
Just like clouds in the sky 
We don't know where we're going, 
Don't know why 
We just ride with the wind 
And we'll drive through the rain 
We don't where we'll get to 
Or if we'll get back again
