I spent half my life
Looking at the reasons things must change
And half my life trying to make them stay the same
But love would fade like summer into fall;
All that I could see was a mystery
It made no sense at all

Chorus:
The will of the wind, you feel it and then
It will pass you blowing steady
It comes and it goes, and God only knows
You must keep your sails on ready
So when it begins, get all that you can;
You must befriend the will of the wind
I spent so many hours
Just thinkin' 'bout the way things might have been
And so many hours trying to bring the good times back again
And so it goes for lonely hearted fools;
They let their days slip away
Until they give into...

(Repeat Chorus)
