Like A Straw In The Wind Lyrics by Barbra Streisand

Like A Straw In The Wind

Like a straw in the wind
I go whirling around
Like a bird whos just learnin to fly
Feet are not on the ground
Drift from pillar to post
So helplessly
What wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
Hmm... nothing you try to do
Helps you to comfort your heart
Dont yo heart get all the bricks
Where your hopes come unpinned
Trouble steps in and make
You feel like a straw in the wind
Like a straw in the wind
Free and easy
Thats my style
I go whirling around
Howdy-do me?
Watch me smile
Like a bird whos just learned to fly
Fare-the-well me after a while
Feet are not on the ground
So I gotta roam
Drift from pillar to post
Sweetenin water
Cherry wine
So helplessly
Thank you kindly suits me fine
What I wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
So any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin in a tree
Pick up and go
And the goin proves
Thats how it oughta be
I pick up too
When the spirit moves me
Cross the river, run the bend
Howdy stranger?
So long friend
There is a voice in the lonesome wind
I hear a-whisperin roam
Im goin where a welcome mat is,
No matter where that is...
Cause any place I hang my hat is home!
