There is a wind by Billy and it's awful strong
Come for you and anyone who's helped you along
But I want to live, live, live and let the stars shine bright
Yes I want to live, live, live and let it hum all right
And when that bird sings from over that silver wall
I don't want to fight it, Billy 'cause I want to go
There's a northern wind, Billy, blowing up a southern change
And a northern wind's really making me feel kind of strange
There's a northern wind, Billy, blowing up a southern change
And a northern wind's really making me feel kind of strange

And where this gun rolls, everything I want to say
Not for you but anyone who takes it away
Let it fill his life, life, life until there's nothing left
Let it kill his wife's love until he goes to bed
And when that bird sings from over that silver wall
I don't want to fight it, Billy 'cause I want to go
There's a northern wind, Billy, blowing up a southern change
And a northern wind's really making me feel kind of strange
There's a northern wind, Billy, blowing up a southern change
And a northern wind's really making me feel kind of strange
There's a northern wind, Billy, blowing up a southern change
