When I'm needin' a friend, I can talk to the wind   God, I sure am glad that I found him   Sometimes he seems to be the only one beside me   Who can feel the Lord's breath all around him      Winter's cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day   On a warm summer night you can hear him say      Cry for me, sigh for me, sad my breezes flow   Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know   My lonely wind must blow      Mighty friend that is mine, can you give me a sign?   He'll leave nothing but only to hear him   I've seen the tall trees bend low, when his mighty winds blow   And that's all the more reason I fear him      Hear him call for the earth lonely, I can feel his great pain   But on the eve of this day, I'll join in his refrain      Cry for me, sigh for me, sad my breezes flow   Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know   My lonely wind must blow      When I'm needing a friend, I'll remember the wind   And my life here with the breezes of sorrow   I'll be leaving him soon, 'cause I've got to make room   For the lonely that will find him tomorrow      On a black stormy night in your bosom, I'll cling   And I'll know I've found love and the last song we'll sing      Cry for me, sigh for me, sad my breezes flow   Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know   My lonely wind, my lonely wind   My lonely wind must blow, yeah
