There are some who can still remember   All the things that we used to do   But the days of our youth were numbered   And the ones who survive it are few      Oh, I can still see the smiling faces   When the times were so good   Oh in the all familiar places   I'd go back if I could      To the people of the south wind   To the people of the southern wind   To the people of the south wind   To the people of the southern wind      Well it's a hard thing to face the music   But it's somethin' everybody's got to do   So I hope that I can always remember   All the crazy times we had to go through      Now it's a dream that is slowly fading   Oh I don't want it to go   All of the memories are evading   And I Want you to know      It's the people of the south wind   It's the people of the southern wind   It's the people of the south wind   It's the people of the southern wind      Now we've traveled all across the oceans   And we've seen what there is to see   But I guess it's not the proper solution   'Cause it's all about the same to me      Now I look back and it makes me wonder   Why we just couldn't see   All of the battles we fought and won there   Oh I wish that I could be      With the people of the south wind   With the people of the southern wind   It's the people of the south wind   You're the people of the southern wind      It's the people of the south wind   It's the people of the southern wind   It's the people of the south wind   You're the people of the southern wind      It's the people of the south wind   You're the people of the southern wind   It's the people of the south wind   You're the people of the southern wind
