Winds of September

It was a lonely time as I remember
When I was forsaken by my closest friends
Now alone I felt, as the cards were dealt
It seemed my world was coming to an end
Beaten down and broken
A shadow of a man
Then evil entered my heart
Killing me with fiery darts
Until I fell into his fiendish hands

Ill winds come now and then
But the winds are gonna change
Don't run away, it's not too late
Come back where you belong
You can only run so long

The winds of September are calling
Calling you back home
(Calling you back home)
The winds of September
Won't leave you alone

So, I started picking up the pieces
But I didn't know just how or where to begin
Well, I heaved a sigh, and I tried but I
Just couldn't put me back together again
I finally cried for Jesus
And He came upon the whispering winds
Ooh, He calmed the clamoring seas
That raged and roared in me
And truly loved me when I needed a friend

Ill winds come now and then
But the winds are gonna change
The past is gone, I'm movin' on
The winds cry out my name
I'll never be the same

The winds of September are calling
Calling you back home
(Calling you back home)
The winds of September
Won't leave you alone

The winds of September are calling
Calling you back home
(Calling you back home)
The winds of September
Won't leave you alone
They won't leave you alone

The Lord saves the dying flames
He shelters them from life's hurricanes

Ill winds come now and then
But the winds are gonna change
Unlike before, there's so much more
His love I can't explain
Is the wind calling your name?

The winds of September are calling
Calling you back home
(Calling you back home)
The winds of September
Won't leave you alone

The winds of September are calling
Calling you back home
(Calling you back home)
The winds of September
Won't leave you alone

The winds of September are calling
Calling you back home
(Calling you back home)
The winds of September
Won't leave you alone

Calling you back home
(Calling you back home)
Alone

Calling you back home
(Calling you back home)
Alone...
