The Wayward Wind

Summer Solstice 2024



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.
