Verse 1

I list-en to the wind,

To the wind of my soul,

Where I?ll end up, well, I think,

Only God reall-y knows,

I?ve sat upon the sett-ing sun, but never, nev-er, nev-er, nev-er,

I never wanted wat-er once——-,

No, never, nev-er, nev-er!

Verse 2

I list-en to my words,

But they fall far be -low,

I let my music take me

Where my heart wants to go,

I swam upon the dev-il?s lake, but never, nev-er, nev-er, nev-er,

I?ll never make the same mis-take——-,

No, never, nev-er, nev-er!
