i seem to tumble in the wind i wait for it to begin when i look at you i ain't too proud to say i once loved a girl this way
i bring trouble on my lonesome self i see danger in each offered help times are hard the money just won't come through i would be alone if not for you
they brought me in on a flatcar down from old hong kong tried to tell me what i was doing was absolutely wrong tried to make me over into a man of steel but i knew i would have to kneel
from the plains of alberta with its wheat so wild and strong i rolled over the Northlands till i came to saskatchewan from a hardback in my satchel i read the words quite clear hurry home to your loved ones now wintertime is near
i seem to tumble in the wind i wait for it to begin when i look at you i ain't too proud to say i once loved a girl this way
