(McDonald/Sinfield)
Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been

I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between.


I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind

The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.


I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion

All around me.

You don't possess me

Don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me

Just use up my time

I talk to the wind

My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear

The wind cannot hear.
