I see the shadows as they come to welcome the night

Treading the time when I know I must turn out the light

Here in the darkness I lie down to hurt once again

From loving a mem'ry who's heart sings a song of the wind

So much like a child yet so very much of a man

He was a drifter and I wasn't part of his plan

He needed me when I met him so I took him in

Not knowing someday he'd follow the song of the wind

The wind sings the moving song of things that we always dream

And the man who has heard its call can't leave a thing unseen

If I should see him and he needs the warmth of a friend

I'll try to help him for the short time he has spent

I won't be surprised when I wake and he's gone once again

For he is a dreamer who follows the songs of the wind

Yes he is a dreamer who follows the songs of the wind
