lyrics

Oh, the wind is in the trees,
I long to be loved again,
As the grass bends in the breeze,
I long for a home again.

So I’ll stand here at your door,
And with my eyes implore you
To let me in,
Amidst the icy blast,
My breath fogs up the glass,
Won’t you let me in?

Oh the corn’s been taken in,
The geese are flying southward,
How I wish I could join them,
On the wings of birds.

So I’ll sit on the prairies wide,
With my nose up to the sky,
Sit and wonder,
Why did they decide
To force me out under the skies
That I’m under?

I smelled your food and so I came,
I wound up at your doorstep,
But I’m a menace, so you claim,
Not the kind of dog you’d let your children pet.

You’ll be afraid, turn up your nose,
Leave me out here in the cold,
Where’s your humanity?
You think I’ll dirty up your floor,
So close your blinds and lock the door,
What if I were you, and you were me?

Oh, the wind is in the trees,
I long to be loved again,
As the grass bends in the breeze,
I long for a home again.
