I watch the wind blow brown leaves to the ground And blow along the sidewalks of this town I can see the wind as it blew her hair time and time again Oh, what I'd give, Lord, to be the wind Oh, what I'd give to be the wind To be free to leave this awful place I'm in It's hopeless 'cause I haven't got a penny or a friend Oh, what I'd give, Lord, to be the wind This same wind tomorrow will be gone To blow across the cotton fields of home It will gently touch the lovely face I long to touch again Oh, what I'd give, Lord, to be the wind Oh, what I'd give to be the wind To be free to leave this awful place I'm in It's hopeless 'cause I haven't got a penny or a friend Oh, what I'd give, Lord, to be the wind
