Cry Wind Again Lyrics

It was early September, near harvest time

He came to town to scam, seeking ev'ry dime

The landlord's daughter was looking

Looking for a new friend

For a happy ending

Though it wasn't the end

Verbena said meet me at night, down Camino way

Willie James then pledged his troth, forever and a day

There a lust ignited

She took money to lend

Such a happy ending

Though it wasn't the end

Again the wind

Carries the cry

Of those who trusted

In a handsome lie

The moon embarrassed

Fades from the sky

Cry wind what happened

Cry wind once more

Cry wind again

Late November, she's showing and he's left, unseen

Some say he cheated bandits, knifed in a ravine

Verbena left the village

Perhaps she learns to fend

Not a happy ending

Though it wasn't the end

Again the wind

Carries the cry

Of those who trusted

In a handsome lie

The moon embarrassed

Fades from the sky

Cry wind what happened

Cry wind once more

Cry wind again
