(Tumble) In the Wind Lyrics

Cover art for (Tumble) In the Wind lyrics by Jackson C. Frank

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
