Wind Behind The Rain

I knew you before we met

We don't need all the answers yet

I'm sure time will change me some

You see what I could become

So much left to figure out

I never took the easy route

And I was born with my boots on

Will you take 'em off me when I'm gone?

I love you like the mornin' loves the afternoon

Like the prairies love the plains

If you leave me now, I'll just come runnin' after you

I'll be the wind behind the rain

I wanna see you smilin' when you're ninety

And I'll always see you like you are right now

All my wild beginnings are behind me

And I know that we can stick it out somehow

Well, I wanted you the first time that I saw you

In that bar where all my friends left me behind

I wasn't even fishin' when I caught you

But I always had your picture in my mind

And I love you like the mornin' loves the afternoon

Like the prairies love the plains

If you leave me now, I'll just come runnin' after you

I'll be the wind behind the rain

And I love you like the ocean loves the silver moon

Like Frank and Jesse loved the train

If you leave me now, I'll just come runnin' after you

I'll be the wind behind the rain
