1
Winds of the old days (Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
The lady's adrift in a foreign land
3
Singing on issues both humble and grand A
4
decade flew past her and there on the page
5
She read that the prince had returned to the stage
6
Hovering near treacherous waters
7
A friend saw her drifting and caught her
8
Unguarded fantasies flying too far
9
Memories tumbling like sweets from a jar And take me down to the harbor now Grapes of the summer are low on the bough
10
Ghosts of my history will follow me there
11
And the winds of the old days will blow through my hair
12
Breath on an undying ember It doesn't take much to remember
13
Those eloquent songs from the good old days
14
That set us to marching with banners ablaze
15
But reporters, there's no sense in prying
16
Our blue-eyed son's been denying
17
The truths that are wrapped in a mystery
18
The sixties are over so set him free
19
And take me down to the harbor now
20
Grapes of the summer are low on the bough
21
Ghosts of my history will follow me there
22
And the winds of the old days will blow through my hair
23
Why do I sit the autumnal judge
24
Years of self-righteousness will not budge
25
Singer or savior, it was his to choose
26
Which of us knows what was his to lose
27
Because idols are best when they're made of stone
28
A savior's a nuisance to live with at home
29
Stars often fall, heroes go unsung
30
And martyrs most certainly die too young
31
So thank you for writing the best songs
32
Thank you for righting a few wrongs
33
You're a savage gift on a wayward bus
34
But you stepped down and you sang to us
35
And get you down to the harbor now
36
Most of the sour grapes are gone from the bough
37
Ghosts of Johanna will visit you there
38
And the winds of the old days will blow through your hair
