Lyrics

There is a wind by, Billy And it's awful strong Come for you and Anyone who's helped you along But I want to live, live Live and let the stars shíne bright Yes, I want to live, live Live and let it all more right And when that bird sings From over that silver wall I don't want to fight it Billy, 'cause I want to go There's a northern wind, Billy Blowing up a southern change And the northern winds really Make me feel kind of strange There's a northern wind, Billy Blowing up a southern change And the northern winds really Make me feel kind of strange And where this gun goes Everything I want to say Not for you, but Anyone who takes it away Let it fill his life, life Life until there's nothing left Let it kill his wife slow 'Til he goes to bed And when that bird sings From over that silver wall I don't want to fight it Billy, 'cause I want to go There's a northern wind, Billy Blowing up a southern change And the northern winds really Make me feel kind of strange There's a northern wind, Billy Blowing up a southern change And the northern winds really Make me feel kind of strange There's a northern wind, Billy Blowing up a southern change
