Southwind

Look a way down that last bend
Where the timber gets so smoky and dim
River roll along
Like a sweet sad song
And this old heart just wonderin' what went wrong
Climb up on that lonesome hill
At the edge of the woods so solemn and still
Like everyone you've ever loved was dead and gone
I know darlin' our love it's gone too

[CHORUS]
But I wonder was there a way
I coulda made you stay
I know there's no sense in all this cryin'
Please don't say you're goin'
Like that Southwind blowin'
Bringin' these old memories to my mind

How many hearts have loved and lost
How many dreams have all been tossed
Since you've gone from me
Dreams of you will be like echoes of a sweet old memory

[CHORUS]
But I wonder was there a way
I coulda made you stay
I know there's no sense in all this cryin'
Please don't say you're goin'
Like that Southwind blowin'
Bringin' these old memories to my mind
