The Wind

written by: Cat Stevens
performed/covered live by: Sarah McLachlan

Lyrics

I listen to the wind
To the wind of my soul
Where I’ll end up, well, I think
Only God really knows

I’ve sat upon the setting sun
But never, never, never, never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never

I listen to my words
But they fall far below
I let my music take me where
My heart wants to go

I swam upon the devil’s lake
But never, never, never, never
I’ll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never
