Tryin' To Hold The Wind Up With A Sail Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Pat Garvey 

 

Well somewhere the sun today's soakin' up a cornfield dry 

But it's shining a love song on some snowy clouds 

And I know my fingerprints will be brushed away 

By the hard plate every day of the century 

 

But the other night when you cried and you woke me up 

Just to tell me of your bad dream 

I held you close to be of some avail 

Tryin' to hold the wind up with a sail 

 

We turned again and stood upon that gentle land 

It's a vulnerable drum of old moss and sand 

We could rise up another hot naked wall if we stand tall 

We can face it again, it's the same old wind 

 

But last night when you cried and woke me up 

Just to tell me it's all a bad dream 

I tried to hold you to be of some avail 

Like tryin' to hold the wind up with a sail 

 

Whenever you cry and wake me up and tell me you know 

That it's all a bad dream 

I want to be there to hold you to be of some avail 

Tryin' to hold the wond up with a sail
