When The Wind Blows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So long child, I'm on my way
And after all is done, after all is done
Don't be down, it's all in the past
Though you may be afraid
So long child, it's awful dark
And I've never felt the sun
I daren't to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrong
Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away
You'll take him home
You'll spit and taunt him
But they won't believe you
No matter what you'll say
So long child, it's awful dark
I never felt the sun
I daren't to think of when
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
