So long child, I'm on my way And after all is done, after all is done Don't be down, it's all in the past, though you may be afraid
So long child, it's all gone dark And I've never felt the sun, I dread to think of when When the wind blows, when the wind blows When the wind blows, when the wind blows
Life burns a savage wound, angry and wrought Trusting a twisted word, you'll run, run away You'll take him on home, you'll spin and taunt him But they won't believe you, no matter what you say
So long child, it's awful dark I've never felt the sun, I dread to think of when When the wind blows, when the wind blows When the wind blows, when the wind blows
