Merle Haggard
Listening (To the Wind)
Listenin' to the wind
Tryin' to hear the voice of a distant friend
Wishin' you and I were close again
Listenin' to the wind

Listenin' to the breeze
As it whispers through the poplar trees
Do you think of me way back then?
Do you listen to the wind?

Listenin' to the night
Wishin' we could hold and squeeze each other tight
I can almost hear the stars so bright
Listenin' to the night

Listenin' to the sound
Of a highway through some distant town
I can almost hear the pale moonlight
Do you listen to the night?

Listenin' to my mind
Searchin' through my thoughts for the perfect line
Usin' tricks and telepathy at times
Do you listen to your mind?

Listenin' to the breeze
As it whispers through the poplar trees
Wishin' you and I were close again
Just listenin' to the wind
