Crystal Gayle - Wayward Wind lyrics

In a lonely shack by a railroad track He spent his younger days But I guess the sound of the outward bound Made him a slave to his wand'ring ways Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind A restless wind that yearns to wander And he was born the next of kin The next of kin to the wayward wind Oh I met him there in a border town We vowed we'd never part Tho' he tried his best to settle down Now I'm alone with a broken heart Though the wayward wind is a restless wind A restless wind that yearns to wander And he was born the next of kin The next of kin to the wayward wind The next of kin to the wayward wind
