John Wesley Harding - Into The Wind Lyrics
He threw his hopes into the windTo see if they would pin on her againHe threw his heart against the wallTo see if it would stick or fallShe put her arms around himAnd said you are forgivenHe said well youre the only thingThat makes life worth livingWhen you live into the windHe pushed the rock up to the topUntil it rolled back down the mountainHe did it once, now he cant topBut hell never quit complainingShe tells him why he does itIt must be because he needs toHe takes his hands awayAnd the rock doesn not roll downIt sits firm into the windWhy cant he seeHe creates these situationsIts not to be or not to beNothings that easyHe builds a home paper on sandAnd awaits congratulationsThe wind blows once, the house falls downAnd he wails amidst the ruinsFor all the time that he spent workingOn this worthless enterpriseShe stands him on a rock and saysA word to the wiseIf you live into the wind...He doesnt feel the cold todayHe doesnt worry about tomorrowHe doesnt build a house of cardsJust so he can knock it downHe takes her in his armsHis overconfidence returningAnd laughs with her when she saysWe have love to burnIf it burns into the wind.
