[D] I'm going to sing a song called The West Wind In My Face.
What fortunes meant that I could climb 300 miles or more
Ride through these wilder fronting hills than the heat stretched out before
What joy is mine to move in time across this noble place
Where the free domain arranges me, a west wind in my face
I struggle and I strive to keep those tracks alive
North, south, east, west, hey [A] manja these nights
[D] North, south, east, west, hey cross roads out of time
What fortunes here that I can steer these paths of rock and brooch
Even in this storm, the greystone walls are a slag of spade and brooch
What joy is mine to move in time across this waking place
Where the break of day arranges me, a sunrise in my face
I struggle and I strive [G] to keep those [D] tracks alive
North, south, east, west, hey manja these nights
North, south, east, west, hey cross roads out of time
What fortunes there that I can swear the hours of passing day
With a weary head, turn and tread, make my homeward way
Beyond this plain, a leading lane, a shelter from the night
With a ranger's view, a life to choose, I wait till morning light
I struggle and I strive to keep those tracks alive
North, south, east, west, hey manja these nights
North, south, east, west, hey cross roads out of time
North, south, east, west, hey manja these nights
North, south, east, west, hey cross roads out of time
