The Wayward Wind
Music by Stanley Lebowsky, with lyrics by Herb Newman
The wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns
to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind.
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
I guess the sound
of the outward-bound
Made me a slave to my
wandering ways
Cause the wayward wind
is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to
wander
And I was born
the next of kin
The next of kin
to the wayward wind.
I met him there
in a border town
We vowed we’d never part
Though I tried my best to settle down
Now he’s alone with a broken heart.
The wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to
wander
I was born
the next of kin
The next of kin
to the wayward wind
My only friend
is the wayward wind.
