Allemande,
Where have you gone,
Did I know anything about you,
Many moons,
Have come and gone,
They went so easily without you,
All alone,
I said we'd be,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows,
An day that the way that the way that the wind blows,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows you home,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
Allemande,
Your face so long,
And all my silly hopes hung on you,
All alone,
I said we'd be,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows you home,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh,
And oh the way that the wind blows you home,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
Where have you gone,
Did I know anything about you,
Many moons,
Have come and gone,
They went so easily without you,
All alone,
I said we'd be,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows,
An day that the way that the way that the wind blows,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows you home,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
Allemande,
Your face so long,
And all my silly hopes hung on you,
All alone,
I said we'd be,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows,
And day that the way that the way that the wind blows you home,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh,
And oh the way that the wind blows you home,
Sorry,
Sorry,
And so we are,

All along I said we'd be sorry
Sorry, and so we are
But ain't that the way that
The way that the wind blows
But they aren't compatible, and they know it. The relationship ends, and it is hard on both people. But it's just the way it is meant to be... the way that the wind blows.
I really, really love this song.
they love eache other but the world don't turn like they wish ,, so they goes apart
The allemande was originally a group dance (the name, which is from the French word for "German", comes from the fact that the dance was supposedly conceived in Germany) that involved couples linking arms or hands, spinning around each other, and then switching off with someone else. That element of the dance has carried over into other dances, today in square dance and contra dance, where the word allemande still refers to moves in which partners link hands or arms and spin around each other before splitting off.
I think this relates to the song... two people were together, linked, and they "spun around" each other for a short time before breaking off to other partners, because it just couldn't work between them. In effect, they did an "allemande." Beautiful parallel to draw I think, a wonderful reference...
