(Tumble) In the Wind Lyrics
I seem to tumble in the wind
I wait for it to begin
When I look at you
I ain't too proud to say
I once loved a girl this way
I bring trouble on my lonesome self
I see danger in each offered help
Times are hard
The money just won't come through
I would be alone if not for you
They brought me in on a flatcar
Down from old Hong Kong
Tried to tell me what I was doing
Was absolutely wrong
Tried to make me over
Into a man of steel
But I knew I would have to kneel
From the plains of Alberta
With its wheat so wild and strong
I rolled over the Northlands
Till I came to Saskatchewan
From a hardback in my satchel
I read the words quite clear
Hurry home to your loved ones now
Wintertime is near
I seem to tumble in the wind
I wait for it to begin
When I look at you
I ain't too proud to say
I once loved a girl this way
I wait for it to begin
When I look at you
I ain't too proud to say
I once loved a girl this way
I see danger in each offered help
Times are hard
The money just won't come through
I would be alone if not for you
Down from old Hong Kong
Tried to tell me what I was doing
Was absolutely wrong
Tried to make me over
Into a man of steel
But I knew I would have to kneel
With its wheat so wild and strong
I rolled over the Northlands
Till I came to Saskatchewan
From a hardback in my satchel
I read the words quite clear
Hurry home to your loved ones now
Wintertime is near
I wait for it to begin
When I look at you
I ain't too proud to say
I once loved a girl this way

WRONG SONG. These are not the lyrics for the Jackson C. Frank song.
Correct lyrics for the Jackson C. Frank song, NOT the Kerry Livgren song:
I seem to tumble in the wind I wait for it to begin When I look at you I ain't too proud to say I once loved a girl this way
I bring trouble on my lonesome self I see danger in each offered help Times are hard The money just won't come through I would be alone if not for you
They brought me in on a flatcar Down from old Hong Kong Tried to tell me what I was doing Was absolutely wrong Tried to make me over Into a man of steel But I knew I would have to kneel
From the plains of Alberta With its wheat so wild and strong I rolled over the Northlands Till I came to Saskatchewan From a hardback in my satchel I read the words quite clear Hurry home to your loved ones now Wintertime is near
I seem to tumble in the wind I wait for it to begin When I look at you I ain't too proud to say I once loved a girl this way
