Strawbs - I Turned My Face Into The Wind lyrics

rate me

I wandered far onto the lonely moors<br />

Sparse coarse tufts of grass reached out to trip me<br />

And above my head the leaden clouds hung low<br />

As I turned my face into the rain.<br />

<br />

I huddled close against a tumbling wall<br />

Wrapped in a cloak to shield me from the bitter cold<br />

The solitude weighed heavy on my mind<br />

As I turned my face into the rain.<br />

<br />

The mist rolled down across the countryside<br />

I thought I heard the coastal sirens sound<br />

As I turned my face into the rain.<br />

<br />

I tried to peer into the deepening gloom<br />

To glimpse a lighted window in the distance<br />

But just too far to penetrate the rain<br />

As I turned my face into the rain.<br />

<br />

And yet somehow I sensed her presence near<br />

And tufts of sheep's wool hanging from a gorse bush<br />

Were as though her hands were beckoning me home<br />

As I turned my face into the rain.
