I'll be safe and warm by 9 o'clock
I ain't gonna let her memory mess with me
I'll be on my way back to the dock
Where I'll set sail across the deep blue sea
I may never see her face again
But I can still pretend
She's not gone with the wind
She's walkin' back in
I'd rather be out in the dirty rain
Siftin' through the mud for answers to relate
All she left me with was hard earned pain
The sun is sinkin' and I'm afraid it's much too late
The tears keep on rollin' down my cheeks
The river keeps on flowin' and there's nothing i can keep or hold on to
'Cept for the blueish hue of her eyes
I may never see her face again
But I can still pretend
She's not gone with the wind
But she's gone with the wind
