[Verse 1]
AmI never pGlanned to cAmome back home to you
AmI came just as I Dwent, I have returned
AmJust as the flocks do flee their Gnest to head down AmSouth
AmWhen they go there is a Dquiet wholesome Gfeeling in the Amweather
AmThe wind keeps us iDnside, I'd like to Gbe right here foreAmver
[Chorus]
AmBut you never Dknow, Amhow the wind will Dblow
AmAnd you never Dknow who's going wAmith it when it goes
AmYou never Dknow Amhow it's gonna Dgo
AmAnd you never Dknow who's going Amwith it when it goes
[Verse 2]
AmCan't say that I’m a rGambler, though it's Amtrue I know the road
AmAnd I shall live the Dpast few years with Gone foot out the Amdoor
AmMy man, he's no Dcarpenter but he Gwears through his blue Amjeans
AmAnd I bet that he can Ddig a hole, if Gever there were a nAmeed
[Chorus]
AmBut you never Dknow, Amhow the wind will Dblow
AmAnd you never Dknow who's going wAmith it when it goes
AmYou never Dknow Amhow it's gonna Dgo
AmAnd you never Dknow who's going Amwith it when it goes
[Verse 3]
AmWhen light comes through the Gwindow dancing Amcolors on the wall
AmI'm caught between the Dmorning and the Gecho of a Amdream
AmI thank the sky for kDnowing what was, Gis, and soon will Ambe
AmI'm a lady as you Dsee me for pGerhaps a centAmury
[Chorus]
AmBut you never Dknow, Amhow the wind will Dblow
AmAnd you never Dknow who's going wAmith it when it goes
AmYou never Dknow Amhow it's gonna Dgo
AmAnd you never Dknow who's going Amwith it when it goes

My man, he's no carpenter but he wears through his blue jeans

I'm a lady as you see me for perhaps a century
