Musical Notes Graphic

Alan Parsons

Blown By The Wind

Written by Ian Bairnson


All along the shoreline

There are footprints by the sea

They head into the distance...

Then they lead right back to me

I made the break to freedom

Now I'm following the dream

You're never going to get here

If you hold the old routine


Now everything we possess

That fills our empty lives

Is only good for leaving far behind


We are blown by the wind

Just like clouds in the sky

We don't know where we're going,

Don't know why

We just ride with the wind

And we'll drive through the rain

We don't where we'll get to

Or if we'll get back again


Call along the valley

And you just may find us there

I couldn't say for certain

'Cause we may be anywhere

Head into the sunset

Or just wander out to sea

Wherever your heart leads you

Is the place you're meant to be


And someone who could be impressed

With ordinary lies

Could really use a little peace of mind


We are blown by the wind

Just like clouds in the sky

We don't know where we'll go,

But we'll get by

We just ride with the wind

And we'll drive through the rain

We don't where we'll get to

Or if we'll get back again


Now everything we possess

That fills our empty lives

Is only good for leaving far behind


We are blown by the wind

Just like clouds in the sky

We don't know where we're going,

Don't know why

We just ride with the wind

And we'll drive through the rain

We don't where we'll get to

Or if we'll get back again
