Look
See how the world goes round
Look
See how the day goes on
You
It won't stop to help you
Me
It won't stop to help me
All the time a wind is blowing
Where it's blowing next we don't know

Look
Some spend their days in slumber
Look
Someone is weary toiling
Home
Be my guest and come back home
Ah come
You'll be better off at home
All the time someone is dying
Where he's dying next we don't know

I sit in the sunset
Watching God's evening
Receding so gently now
Into the Westlands
I think I'm at peace now
But of nothing am I certain
Only which way will the wind blow next time?

You
You might never have been saved
Ah well
You might not have been so brave
Time would have shown the parting waves
And you slipping under Autumn's gaze
And now I know
That nothing is what it ever seems

I sit in the sunset
Watching God's evening
Receding so gently now
Into the Westlands
I think I'm at peace now
But of nothing am I certain
Only which way will the wind blow next time?
