Well my heart knows what
The wild wind knows
And I must go where the wild wind blows
Wild wind brother wind
Which is best
A wanderin' fool
Or a heart at rest

Tonight I heard the wild wind cry
Blowin' north in the desert sky
Tried to sleep why even try
Tonight I heard the wild wind cry

Well my heart knows what
The wild wind knows
And I must go where the wild wind blows
Wild wind brother wind
Which is best
A wanderin' fool
Or a heart at rest

A woman was kind
And true to me
Well, she thinks she loves me
The more fool she
She's got a love that ain't no sin
But she can't love the brother
Of the wild wind

Well my heart knows what
The wild wind knows
And I must go where the wild wind blows
Wild wind brother wind
Which is best
A wanderin' fool
Or a heart at rest

The cabin is warm
And the snow is deep
And I've got a woman
Who lies asleep
She'll wake up at
Tomorrow's dawn
And find soon enough
That her man is gone

Well my heart knows what
The wild wind knows
And I must go where the wild wind blows
Wild wind brother wind
Which is best
A wanderin' fool
Or a heart at rest

Let me fly let me fly away

Spring is comin'
And the ice will break
And I can't linger
For a woman's sake
She'll see a shadow
Pass overhead
And she'll find
A ring beside her bed

Well my heart knows what
The wild wind knows
And I must go where the wild wind blows
Wild wind brother wind
Which is best
A wanderin' fool
Or a heart at rest

Let me fly away
