When Lonely Rides the Wind When Lonely rides the wind And only some can feel The eventide and north wind songs Whose loneliness I steal The shadows call my name A longing deep within Comes back to haunt me one more time When Lonely rides the wind When Lonely rides the wind All nature cries like me Her tears fall on the dying land Her death song’s final plea Why can’t they hear her song? All time will quickly end When Lonely rides the wind When Lonely rides the wind Its call will never end Across the marsh, above the hills Life’s cold wind screams, it never stills How can we know whose soul it chills? When Lonely rides the wind When Lonely rides the wind My soul begins to blend With echoes racing high Of wild geese in the sky The night wind hides the pain A lone goose cries and slowly dies Of loneliness in vain Forever gone he sings his song When Lonely rides the wind When Lonely rides the wind It tells my soul to weep A love no longer here A promise I can’t keep My heart cries out within When Lonely rides the wind When Lonely rides the wind A final time it tries To cross the endless space of time Then fades in darkened skies Pale horseman come, the blood runs cold You can’t go home again Alone I fly the endless sky Like Lonely rides the wind
