So long child
I'm on my way

and after all is done
after all is done-
don't be down
it's all in the past
though you may be afraid.

So long child
it's all gone dark

and I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when.
When the wind blows
when the wind blows

when the wind blows
when the wind blows.

Life burns a savage wound
angry and wrought

trusting a twisted word
you'll run
run away.
You'll take him on home
you'll spin and taunt him

but they won't believe you
no matter what you say.

So long child
it's awful dark

I've never felt the sun
I dread to think of when.
When the wind blows
when the wind blows

when the wind blows
when the wind blows.
