lyrics

FRIEND OF THE WESTERN WIND music/lyrics: bill mallonee
there's got to be some comfort left in this old "left you out" world
there's gotta be a place for you on the string of pearls
it'll make you wear your thickest skin to keep the bullets at bay
but underneath your heart is oh, so gold waiting to shine like the new day

chorus:
yeah, i hear your a friend of the western wind
blowing all through the holes in your soul
you don't know where she's been; ah, but then again
she is taking you to where you wanna go
taking you to where you wanna go

i wrote this song on an old guitar under the influence of a million stars
i was praying in the spirit, at least doing my best
in a rhinestone jacket over a suede vest

Autumn has a way of scattering leaves of your life all around...clearing the tree
athering her dark clouds; she's such a stormy girl
there's gotta be a place for you on the string of pearls
