Pilgrim of the Wind

album: Drifter's Wind (1985), track 5 of 10
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI

Now the winds of winter blow
And I'm a pilgrim of the wind
Like a leaf across the snow
The last to go, and quit the limb
Remember summer days so long
In the nights I'd hold you fast
Now we only talk in song
And you sing along, trying to make it last
 CHORUS
   Settling down was a crazy notion
   I've been around, but I'm still in motion
   Just a leaf in the wind
   I tumble and I spin
That there was love, there's no doubt
But it never grew like desire
The winds of change blew it out
And who could do without the loving fire
This windy road pulls me on
Forever turning as it rolls
Down along the shores of Babylon
I'm traveling on the road of souls
 CHORUS
Now the winds of winter blow
And I'm a pilgrim of the wind
Like a leaf across the snow
The last to go, and quit the limb
 CHORUS (X2)
A pilgrim of the wind
Ever tumblin'
A pilgrim of the wind
Goodbye winter wind
