Thread Name: Lyr Req: As Long As I Live (from Jim Ringer)
Subject: RE: Help with lyrics to a Jim Ringer Song
I stumbled across this old thread. I thought I might add Dick Feller's fine song which Frank of Toledo was puzzling about above. It is from his 'Dick Feller Wrote...' album.
ANY OLD WIND THAT BLOWS
Lord she's restless Like cotton candy clouds that sail the day Slow and free ... and she possesses A mind that can't resign itself to stay For long with me Though I've tried and tried, to keep her tied and satisfied Until she really needs me But when that certain look comes on her face I can't replace it And she leaves me
Chorus: She's a butterfly in mid July Who just can't wait to try Her brand new wings On brand new things And she needs no rhyme or reason when she goes Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall of blue horizon I suppose And heaven knows She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
I know she needs me About as much as I need someone else Which I don't ... And if need be I swear some day I'll up and leave myself ... which I won't But even If she loved another man I'd understand it more than I do But I know the only reason that she ever has for leavin', is she wants to
Chorus
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
