[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for the dark
To run barefoot by the stream
And I tread no path of stone
But rare are the times I let myself dream
[Pre-Chorus]
You say what's beyond home beguiles me
The wild, the chaos untold
Don't you see that it's what I crave?
Don't waste your breath on my wandering soul
[Chorus]
Zephyr, O great, mighty Western wind
Take me far from here Southern din of
Clockwork chiming and the men with gin
Take me far from here Southern din, oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
I've been toiling in the sun
To reap the fare that feeds my brother's mouth
And father's mart
[Pre-Chorus]
You're right, what's beyond home beguiles me
The wild, the chaos untold
Don't you say, 'How dare you misbehave?'
If you're wise, you'd let me be alone
[Chorus]
Zephyr, O great, mighty Western wind
Take me far from here Southern din of
Clockwork chiming and the men with gin
Take me far from here Southern din, oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
I served my people
I've served my land
I've fed their mouths
With two chafed hands
This summer night
I leave behind
The Southern fields
Where I've been confined
I travel West
To the hills un-scoured
Find peace in the realm
Of lost hours
And by morn's light
Within woodlands
Now I know that
I am home at last
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Zephyr, O great, mighty Western wind
Take me far from here Southern din of
Clockwork chiming and the men with gin
Take me far from here Southern din, oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I've been waiting for the dark
To run barefoot by the stream
And I tread no path of stone
But rare are the times I let myself dream
[Pre-Chorus]
You say what's beyond home beguiles me
The wild, the chaos untold
Don't you see that it's what I crave?
Don't waste your breath on my wandering soul
[Chorus]
Zephyr, O great, mighty Western wind
Take me far from here Southern din of
Clockwork chiming and the men with gin
Take me far from here Southern din, oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
I've been toiling in the sun
To reap the fare that feeds my brother's mouth
And father's mart
[Pre-Chorus]
You're right, what's beyond home beguiles me
The wild, the chaos untold
Don't you say, 'How dare you misbehave?'
If you're wise, you'd let me be alone
[Chorus]
Zephyr, O great, mighty Western wind
Take me far from here Southern din of
Clockwork chiming and the men with gin
Take me far from here Southern din, oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
I served my people
I've served my land
I've fed their mouths
With two chafed hands
This summer night
I leave behind
The Southern fields
Where I've been confined
I travel West
To the hills un-scoured
Find peace in the realm
Of lost hours
And by morn's light

Now I know that
I am home at last
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Zephyr, O great, mighty Western wind
Take me far from here Southern din of
Clockwork chiming and the men with gin
Take me far from here Southern din, oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
