The Wind is one of my first songs from 1976. So that's quite a while ago. 
I changed some of the lyrics, added Background vocals and there are more instruments involved than in the original (that was only one 12-strings guitar). And my friend Marty Straub made me happy by playing the bass. 

The wind
(c) HWBerkhout, 1976 / 2024 

I am a leaf
Blown from a fallen tree
The wind took me from there
Makes me feel free

Leaving that tree far
far out of sight
Wherever I'm going
it's alright

Sometimes wide spaces
Sometimes so tight
Always a challenge
But it feels just right

This is how it's meant to be
The wind is guiding
And I'm feeling free,
Yes, feeling free

Chorus
Oh, hear me breathe, feel that gentle flow
I take you high, sometimes low
I let you float every day
You're in my arms, so comes what may
Oh, comes what may
 
I warn you, don't be a fool
The wind tempts you and you think that is cool
But it can leave you, just like that
And then..., you will be dead
So, don’t trust the Wind...!

Chorus
Ah, hear me breathe, feel that gentle flow
I take you high, sometimes low
I let you float every day
You're in my arms, so comes what may
Ooh, yes, comes what may

Solo

Chorus
Hear me breathe, feel that gentle flow
I take you high, sometimes low
I let you float every day
You're in my arms, so comes what may
Yes, comes what may

Chorus2
Just relax, ignore your inner fight
I am the wind and be at your side
I let you float every day
You're in my arms, so comes what may
