[Verse 1]
I love the pounding of hooves
I love engines that roar
I love the wild music of waves on the shore
And the spiral perfection of a hawk when it soars
And I love my sweet woman down to the core

[Verse 2]
There are roads and they're roads
They’re calling, can't you hear it?
Roads of the earth and roads of the spirit
And the best roads of all are the ones that aren't certain
Well, that’s where you'll find me
When they drop the big curtain

[Chorus]
Hear the wind moan
In the bright diamond sky
These mountains are waiting
Brown-green and dry
I'm too old for the term
But I'll use it anyway
I'll be a child of the wind
Till the end of my days

[Verse 3]
Little round planet
In a big universe
Sometimes it seems blessed
Sometimes it seems cursed
Depends on what you look at obviously
But even more it depends on the way that you see
[Chorus]
Hear the wind moan
In the bright diamond sky
These mountains are waiting
Brown-green and dry
I'm too old for the term
But I'll use it anyway
I'll be a child of the wind
Till the end of my days
Hear the wind moan
In the bright diamond sky
These mountains are waiting
Brown-green and dry
I’m too old for the term
But I’ll use it anyway
I'll be a child of the wind
Till the end of my days

[Banjo Solo]

[Chorus]
Hear the wind moan
In the bright diamond sky
These mountains are waiting
Brown-green and dry
I’m too old for the term
But I'll use it anyway
I'll be a child of the wind
Till the end of my days
