So long child
I'm on my way


and after all is done
after all is done-
don't be down

it's all in the past
though you may be afraid.


So long child
it's all gone dark


and I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when.
When the wind blows

when the wind blows

when the wind blows

when the wind blows.

Life burns a savage wound

angry and wrought

trusting a twisted word

you'll run
run away.
You'll take him on home

you'll spin and taunt him

but they won't believe you

no matter what you say.

So long child

it's awful dark

I've never felt the sun

I dread to think of when.
When the wind blows
when the wind blows


when the wind blows
when the wind blows.
