Blackmore's Night "Wind In The Willows" letra

Wind In The Willows

As I went a walkingOne morning in springI met with some travelersOn an old country laneOne was an old manThe second a maidThe third was a young boy who smiled as he said

CHORUS:"With the wind in the willowsThe birds in the skyThere's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie...We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wineTo share on our journey with all of mankind".

So I asked them to tell me their names and their raceSo I could remember each smile on their face"Our names, they mean nothing...They change throughout timeSo come sit beside us and share in our wine"

CHORUS

So I sat down beside themWith flowers all aroundWe ate from a mantleSpread out on the groundThey told me of prophetsAnd peoples and kingsAnd all of the one god that knows everything"We're traveling to GlastonOver England's green lanesTo hear of men's troublesTo hear of their painsWe travel the wide worldOver land and the seaTo tell all the peopleHow they can be free..."

CHORUS

So sadly I left themOn that old country laneFor I knew that I'd never see them againOne was an old manThe second a maidThe third was a young boy who smiled as he said...

CHORUS (x2)
