Wind

'cross the room (across the wind)

I hear footsteps, footsteps (again and again, oh)

Across the wind

I hear footsteps, footsteps

He made all his living in the sea

Learned from his father

Who said how fine a fisherman he would be

Had a lovely wife and family

Nautical hustler

Who gave all he could to help the folks in need

On the day his life would end

He sailed out on his own

The boat capsized

Tears filled eyes he was happy he lived this long

'cross the room (across the wind)

I hear footsteps, footsteps (again and again, oh)

Across the wind

I hear footsteps, footsteps

Oooooooooh

Told his daughter life was like a tree

Build a foundation

So you can have something lasting centuries

Hold a joyful memory of me

So when I pass on now

I can further elevate your destiny

'cross the room (across the wind)

I hear footsteps, footsteps (again and again, oh)

Across the wind

I hear footsteps, footsteps

Oooooooooh

Passing through
