Once Followed by the Wind Lyrics by The Flatlanders

Wheels of Fortune

0

Once followed by the wind
Once led astray by strangers from the shadows
Magnetized by teardrops fallin from clear blue eyes
Once forgotten by my friends
But remembered well time and again by sweethearts
Revitalized by raindrops fallin from clear blue skies
See there... it's just the way I told you it would be
See where... all the trouble lies
Will you stay and let my lonely heart behold you
Or fade away like mornin stars from the mornin skies
Once followed by the wind
Once chased around by demons from the darkness
Preconditioned by lies and fantasy
Once forsaken by my friends
But forgiven time and time again by sweethearts
Reconditioned by someone who fell for me
See there... it's just the way I told you it would be
See where... all the trouble lies
Will you stay and let my lonely heart behold you
Or fade away like mornin stars from the mornin skies
See there... it's just the way I told you it would be
See where... all the trouble lies
Will you stay and let my lonely heart behold you
Or fade away like mornin stars from the mornin skies
Or fade away like mornin stars from the mornin skies
