lyrics

I'm a friend to the wind but she ain't mine to own
She belongs to the fields where the wild flowers grow
I sing her sad songs whenever she leaves
All about my heartache and the places I've seen
I know she's gonna go no matter how I weep and moan
I'm a friend to the wind but she ain't mine to own

I'm familiar with father time as a flawless enemy
He haunts me with age and troubles of jealousy
He's a mean old condition no medicine can cure
Like fighting fire with fire expecting not to burn
He'll leave you behind with little left to show
I'm familiar with father time but he ain't mine to own

I'm in love with a girl that I don't deserve
But I never question fate or how a miracle's supposed to work
She stuns like the sunrise peering through the trees
I tell her that I love her more than she loves me
I know someday my cup will overflow
But I'm in love with a girl and she ain't mine to own
I'm in love with a girl but she ain't mine to own
