Gypsy Wind

Until the day you came along I used to just be lost
Watching clocks spin the hours away
But it was long ago
Forget the past now, it’s an ancient history
'Cause I'm more than just ready
I've been far too long alone
Wasn't born to wander 'round aimlessly

There's a cold wind blowin' from the north
Rain is falling down, but you know I'm feeling fine
You are the reason
The dark clouds are rollin' away
And through the darkness
The sun begins to rise
Gonna shout out at the ocean
It's my lucky day
Think I've found me a home

Love needs to be loved
It's just the way it all should be;
How the heart beats,
And I will hold things in my soul
If you'll wait for me.

Until the day you came along I used to just be lost - UNDERSTANDING
Wasn't born to wander 'round aimlessly - LONELY MAN
Forget the past now, it’s an ancient history - BRAND NEW MORNING
Think i've found me a home - SO I WROTE YOU A SONG
The sun begins to rise - SUNBURST
'Cause I'm more than just ready - AIN'T GOT NO MONEY
The dark clouds are rollin' away - SHININ' BRIGHTLY
And through the darkness - EVEN NOW
It's just the way it all should be - REAL LOVE
How the heart beats - IT'S A MYSTERY
Love needs to be loved - THE LAST SONG
Rain is falling down, but you know I'm feeling fine - HIGHWAY CHILD
It's my lucky day - HUMMIN BIRD
And I will hold things in my soul - NEED YA
Watching clocks spin the hours away - JODY GIRL
I've been far too long alone - TIL IT SHINES
Gonna shout out at the ocean - FEEL LIKE A NUMBER
There's a cold wind blowin' from the north - SOMEWHERE TONIGHT
But it was long ago  - AGAINST THE WIND
You are the reason - SATISFIED
If you'll wait for me - WAIT FOR ME
