The wind is blowing softer now

My eyes are still a blur

With remnants all around me

I survey the ones that were

They were strong and tall

They stood so proud

And when they walked the streets

The people bowed

But when the climate changed

They tried their best to stay

But the wind blew them all away

Picture in your mind

A silent statue in the sand

A dust cloud comes

And leaves no hiding place

For beast or man

And in the master's house

They're partyin' down

But there's no resting place

In this prodigal town

But there are some we know

Thought they'd go all the way

But the wind blew them all away

In the master's house

There's an easy chair

Some would like to think

It's easy there, but if you look for long

So many have gone astray

'Cause the wind blew them all away

While they were looking the other way

The wind came and blew them all away

They thought they could stand in the stormy day

But the wind came and blew them all away

The wind came and blew them all away

They thought they could stand in the stormy day

But the wind came and blew them all away
