When I'm needin' a friend I can talk to the wind

God I sure am glad that I found him

Sometimes he seems to be the only one beside me

Who can feel the Lord's breath all around him

Winter's cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day

On a warm summer night you can hear him say



Cry for me, sigh for me, sad my breezes flow

Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know

My lonely wind must blow



Mighty friend that is mine, can you give me a sign?

He'll leave nothing but only to hear him

I've seen the tall trees bend low when his mighty winds blow

And that's all the more reason I fear him

Hear him call for the earth lonely I can feel his great pain

But on the eve of this day

I'll join in his refrain



When I'm needing a friend I'll remember the wind

And my life here with the breezes of sorrow

I'll be leaving him soon 'cause I've got to make room

For the lonely that will find him tomorrow

On a black stormy night in your bosom I'll cling

And I'll know I've found love and the last song we'll sing
