I once had friends
to talk to every day
but then the winds of change blew
and took them all away
I once had a lover
to see me through times of gray
but then the winds of change blew
and we went our separate ways
I once had a joyful heart
full of merry and gay
then the winds of change blew
and took my heart away
I once had innocence
as pure as the month of may
but then the winds of change blew
and corruption's here to stay
For when the wind blows
it blows hard its true
but when the wind blows
what can we do?
I once had a friends
I once had a lover
I once had a joyous heart
I once had innocence
I have these things no more
For the winds of change blew
Flowing through and through
I am not who I was, unto the nevermore
