Someone should have told me
I'd never go home
I nev er thought I'd make it pas
t the first milestone
Stumbling through the snow
Even my shadow's gone lame
You once asked me its color
Baby, the blue wind carries
your name
Time is just a circle
Baby, your waiting's all wrong
The streets appear cold and empty
But I know you hear my song
Now my shoes are waiting, yes they are
My trip's got to start real soon
Now, when I sit here like a fool an
d sing you this tune,
nothing waiting for me,
like I'm leaving behind it.
You're the only woman
who ever knew my mind
And shouts without you
like a wild bird flyin'
blind
A roach woman for ramblin'
Baby, I've rolled up and down a few
Cities like
Detroit are made for leavin' up
Before I get you black and blue
Put your arms around me
Oh, baby, hold my hand
I've got a thousand miles away from the
coldest roads in the land
And my baby's eyes are blue like
a shawl and her beads too
That's the color of the wind off
Lake
St.
Clair, if she ever asks it of you.
She wants to go,
and you know I'd like to stay.
We just told each other no,
but a black cloud in our tea
Ain't nothin' waitin' for me like
I'm leavin' behind
You're the only wo man who
ever knew my mind
Livin' south without you,
like a wild bird flyin' by
Talkin' about a wild bird, talkin' about a wild bird flyin' blind,
flyin' blind, talkin'
Talkin' about a wild bird
Talkin' about a wild bird
