COLD WINDS BLOWIN'

seems like all my life
cold winds blow on me
been fightin’ wars with the Man upstairs
who sends the cold winds down on me

hands are in my pockets
collar turned towards the breeze
never got no breaks from Him
who sends the wind right through the trees

it blows down hard and it blows down soft
sometimes it blows with rain
it blows with dust and dirt my friend
but always with a cold refrain

told myself some secrets
no one knows ‘em well
wind tears words from my lips
on unhearing ears they fell

spent my life alone
the wind and me agree
nothin’ and no one to call my own
only the wind that’s chasin’ me

it blows down hard and it blows down soft
sometimes it blows with rain
it blows with dust and dirt my friend
but always with a cold refrain

and I been trudgin’ here for quite some time
the wind keeps me company
old Man blowin’ cold breath on down
I wish he’d let me be.
