Windy Mountain - Tim O'Brien

Oh, how I’d like to be upon a windy mountain

Where the tree tops scrape the sky

Then I would forget all my worries and my troubles

I’ll just let the wind blow them by

How I love the sound of the wind when it’s howlin

Oh it blows my blues away

Makes me forget the girl that I’m lovin

Lets me forget until another day

How I’d like to be upon a windy mountain

Where the tree tops scrape the sky

There I would forget all my worries and my troubles

I’ll just let the wind blow them by

Let me hear the leaves on the trees when they are singing

Just a moment of relief is all care

For I’ve got no sorrow, heartache or sadness

As long as I can see the trees that sway

How I’d like to be upon a windy mountain

Where the tree tops scrape the sky

Then I would forget all my worries and my troubles

I’ll just let the wind blow them by

Oh friends bury me a way up on the mountain

Where that old wind will always blow

For I want to rest alone on a mountain

With the howlin wind that I love so

Tell my old lover in case you should see her

Just how much I love her she’ll never know

And that I’ve gone to rest away upon the mountain

Where the howling wind will always blow

How I’d like to be upon a windy mountain

Where the tree tops scrape the sky

There I would forget all my worries and my troubles

I’ll just let the wind blow them by
