Oh wind, won't you sweep me up into the sky   So I can get a better look at this life of mine   And pick me up and twist me around   So I can see everything around me now      Oh, won't you embrace me?   Oh, won't you embrace me?   Oh, won't you embrace me, me?   Oh, won't you embrace me?      Oh river, won't you take me out into the sea   So I can get a good look back at the land that grounds me   And then a bit more further out   So I can feel alone much more than I have these days      Oh, then won't you embrace me?   Oh, won't you embrace me?   Oh, won't you embrace me?   Won't you embrace me?      I figure there's time later on to move along   From this there is time enough of it for right or wrong   I figure there's time so go easy on me   And let me stay here a while, stay here awhile      Oh wind, won't you take me up to the sky   I can get a good look down at this life of mine   River, won't you take me out into the sea   I can get a good look back at the land that grounds me   The land that grounds me, land that grounds me, me   Land that grounds me, me
