I was an ordinary
boy, 'til freedom called me
Freedom called my name
In an unusual voice, making the sound of
yellow leaves
Blowing down a blue highway
I loved the thrill
of the wind, oh, as early as I can recall
I thought of weather as my friend
Whether sun or snow or rain, I was born to
love it all
Now I'm
walking under gray Seattle skies
Thinking how I'm going to miss the days
gone by
Even if I feel the bite of bitter winter
wind
Oh, I vow to not be one for hurrying
I'll take my time and breathe it in
I love the early
morning sounds of this earth
All her mating songs
She spreads her loving all around
On the feathers of the wind where they graze
against the dawn
And even if you never did ever travel over
foreign lands
You still could know the world we're in
By the nature of the wind as she flows
against your skin
Now I'm
walking under gray Seattle skies
Thinking how I'm going to miss the days
gone by
Even if I feel the bite of bitter winter
wind
Oh, I vow to not be one for hurrying
I'll take my time and breathe it in
I was
looking for the meaning of my life
When I let a little rain get in my eyes
November loosened me and blew me all
around
It was somewhere in this city I was
found
So I came to
love the gray Seattle skies
And I know I'm going to miss the days
gone by
Even if I feel the bite of bitter winter
wind
Oh, I vow to not be one for hurrying
I'll take my time and breathe it in
I'll breathe it in
