Wave To The Wind
( Robert Hunter)

Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave to the wind
Gonna wave my way
My way on through the wind
Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave to the wind
Gonna wave my way to
Places I never have been

Gonna wave to the people
I've seen by the side of
The road as I'm rolling on by
Wave goodbye to the trouble
That's always on my mind
Gonna jumpstart my life
Or go down trying

Gonna wave to the memories
I carry in my heart or the
New ones I'll find along the way
Gonna wave to the century that's
Creeping round the bend like
A dove or some great dark bird of prey

Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave to the wind
Gonna wave my way
My way on through the wind
Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave to the wind
Gonna wave my way to the
Edge of the world and jump in

Gonna wave to the thunder
To the wind and the sea
Where the lightning cries out of the rain
Gonna wave to the river that
Gathers in the stream from the
Mountains that rise above the plain

Farewell to the falsehoods
That stick me to the ground
For so long I forgot that I could fly
Gonna wave to the sidewalk
I've chalked up with my name
In the noon of a high sun blue sky

Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave to the wind
Gonna wave my way
My way on through the wind
Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave to the wind
Gonna wave my way to the
False dawn of noon staring in

Gonna wave to the fiddle
To the dish and the spoon
To the cow jumping over the moon
Raise my glass to the children
That are laughing at a riddle
Plays upon the stars and call the tune

Raise my voice for the young man
Broken in the war
Who was born on the fourth of July
Stand and deliver on
Every love song written
On quiet handsome morning sky

Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave to the wind
Gonna wave my way
My way on through the wind
Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave while the wind
Plays the stars and the sky, the
Moon and the night like a hymn

Gonna wave to the summer
When the rain will discover
Worthy to see through to the end
Gonna wave to the light of
The glow of the night come
Out of the dark night my friend

Then give hope to the hopeless
The helpless and the homeless
The salt of the earth to the call
Gonna wave till my arm
Tackles weary in the socket
Gonna wave till I can't wave no more

Gonna wave, gonna wave
Gonna wave to the wind
Gonna wave my way
My way on through the wind
Gonna speak to the breeze
Add my voice to the wind
Singing: say, can you see
By the dawn's early light streaming in?
