Standing in the Wind

Music: R. Lowe; Lyrics & melody: S. Price

Summer was thick in the breeze
As she laid her hand in mine
My nervousness was at ease
And we made a vow for all time

Twelve years and 47 weeks
Have passed since that day of peace
And when it comes back to me
No regrets and I'm glad that you're still mine

Now I'm standing in the wind
But I don't know when where or why
Don't you go messin' round with sin
You'll be left with no alibi, alibi
Bye-bye

New shoes and a busted knee
Our hero rambles on along
Back to the his'try and the streets
He keeps on movin'
Not missing a beat

Things change the more they stay the same
Friends come but rarely go
His world grows as it shrinks
Always wise to sow as he reaps

Now he's standing in the wind
But he don't where when or why
He's diggin' ditches with a grin
He's a man, no longer a child

Each day the sun will shine
Sometimes it fill up the sky
Other times it gets cloudy, cloudy
Then someday the sun too will shine
Dry the tears in our eyes
And lead us not to temptation but from it, from it

Now he's standing in the wind
But he don't where when or why
He's diggin ditches with a grin
And he's man No longer a child
I'm standing in the wind
But I know not where when or why
Don't you go messin round with sin
You'll be left with no alibi, alibi,
Bye-bye
