Verse 1
I list-en to the wind,
To the wind of my soul,
Where I’ll end up, well, I think,
Only God reall-y knows,
I’ve sat upon the sett-ing sun, but never, nev-er, nev-er, nev-er,
I never wanted wat-er once-------,
No, never, nev-er, nev-er!
Verse 2
I list-en to my words,
But they fall far be -low,
I let my music take me
Where my heart wants to go,
I swam upon the dev-il’s lake, but never, nev-er, nev-er, nev-er,
I’ll never make the same mis-take-------,
No, never, nev-er, nev-er!
