There is a wind, my 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 on alright



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, blowin' up a southern change

and a Northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange

there's a Northern wind, Billy, blowin' up a southern change

and a Northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange



And with this gun goes everything I want to say

Not for you, but for anyone who takes it away

Let it fill his life, life, life until there's nothing left

Let it kill his wife, wife, wife 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, blowin' up a southern change

and a Northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange

there's a Northern wind, Billy, blowin' up a southern change

and a Northern wind really makin' me feel kinda strange
