Orphan of the Wind

Janis Ian

[Verse 1]
Lonely wind
Cry for the mother of the child of sin
There is no other way to bridge the gap
That's made in the life of an orphan

[Refrain 1]
I'm holding back the tears
They stumble from the bow
I'm holding back the tears
They stumble, here and now

[Verse 2]
Child of sin
Ride with your mother on a wave of wind
There is no other way to let you in
All the palace doors are closing

[Refrain 2]
I swear it wasn't her
I thought she was a bird
I swear it wasn't her
I thought she was a bird

[Bridge]
N'da-doo, remain, explain
N'da-doo, the shell of pain
Is lashing out on firstly [?]

[Refrain 3]
I swear it wasn't him
The shepherd's child of sin
I swear it wasn't him
The lonely child of sin

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
So lonely wind
Cry for the mothers of the children of sin
There are no other ways to let them in
All the palace doors are closing

[Refrain 3]
I swear it wasn't him
The shepherd's child of sin
I swear it wasn't him
The orphan of the wind
The orphan of the wind
The orphan of the wind
