Someone should have told me
I'd never go home
I never thought I'd make it
Pa** the first mile stone
Stumbling through the snow
My shadow's gone lame
You once asked me, it's cold
The blue wind carries your name
Time is just a circle
And waiting goes wrong
Streets up here are empty
But I know you hear my song
Now my shoes are waiting
My trip's got to start soon
All I do is sit here
And sing you your tune
Nothing waiting for me
Like I'm leaving behind
You're the only woman
Who knows my mind
Heading south without you
Like a wild bird flying blind
Roads are meant for rambling
I've rolled on a few
Cities are meant for leaving
Before you get too black and blue
Put your arms around me
Oh baby hold my hand!
Thousand miles are waiting
A cold frozen land
My baby's eyes are blue
Like her shawl and beads too
That's the color of the wind
If she asks it of you
She just likes go
She'd rather not stay
But someone told her, no
There's a black cloud in her day
No one waiting for me
Like I'm leaving behind
You're the only woman
Who knows my mind
Heading south without you
Like a wild bird flying blind
Someone should have told me
I'd never go home
I never thought I'd make it
Pa** the first mile stone
Stumbling through the snow
My shadow's gone lame
You once asked me, it's cold
The blue wind carries your name
Well, there's nothing waiting for me
Like I'm leaving behind
You're the only woman
Who knows my mind
Heading south without you
Like a wild bird flying blind
No, there's nothing waiting for me
Like I'm leaving behind
You're the only woman
Who knows my mind
Heading south without you
A wild bird flying blind
A wild bird flying blind
Like a wild bird flying
Like a wild bird flying
