lyrics

There’s a winner in the valley
And a loser on the shore.
And there’s glory in the mountains.
Who wants it more?

And there’s a carrier ‘neath the sunlight
With an old, broke southern cross.
And He’s walking with a message -
He must be lost.

Cuz the weight of this world it is heavy
When you’re trying to be free.
And its ends come upon me,
But I am floating in the breeze.

There’s a singer on the boardwalk
And a crooner on the floor;
And salvation on the stage
Who reaches the door?

Cuz these tears are ever flowing
Like the snowmelt through the stream,
But if the snow comes from heaven
Where comes this dream?

Cuz these days they are ending
And you’re going to need a friend.
You can hear Him calling to you
In the southwestern wind.

In the southwestern wind.
