Floating in the Wind Songtext
von Strawbs

Does your head turn left and right
I know exactly how you feel
When your nerves are jarred with fright
Until you′re floating in the wind

When your day is underdone
And you're never satisfied
How the way your life is run
Don′t hide; you're floating in the wind

You're gonna be woke up, broke up, paralysed
And never know where on earth you are
You wanna believe in something but can′t choose
An unmarked label on a jar
You′re floating in the wind

Some can't get what they want
Waiting is no substitute
When they could be using force; don′t shoot
I'm floating in the wind


People play a waiting game
Each determined not to lose
Friends and enemies alike they use
I′m floating in the wind

You're gonna be woke up, broke up, paralysed
And never know where on earth you are
You wanna believe in something but can′t choose
An unmarked label on a jar
I'm floating in the wind

You hear the biggest lies you ever heard
Then you're expected to almost hang on to their every word
They took my mind and put it in a tin
Like the rest of them
So you find me floating in the wind
One of the many things we never learn
Is how to be heard and not be afraid of speaking out of turn
If peace between us all is paper thin
Be it on our heads, for you find me floating in the wind
