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
