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
