Jimmy White Chasing The Wind Lyrics

The heart it demands
It’s answers supplied
But desires, by nature, can’t be satisfied
The women I loved, the money I made
Were not legal tender
For the price that had to be paid

And if I just had that, that, that, that, that and that
Then I’d be secure
I never was right
I was never once right
But I always was sure
I took and took, until I saw
Then ruefully, I grinned
In the end I had nothing at all
In the end
I had nothing
I was just chasing the wind

I searched for myself
In face after face
Finishing first,
But in the wrong race
Forcing myself to chase every desire
Trying to get warm
From a photograph of a fire

And if I just had that, that, that, that, that and that
Then I’d be secure
I never was right I was never once right
But I always was sure
I took and took, until I saw
Then ruefully, I grinned
In the end I had nothing at all
In the end
I had nothing
I was just chasing the wind

Thousands of years of lives started and ended
Thousands of tears in battles so fiercely defended
Unfair despair and pride
All from the hands of fate
Judgment will come
When we total the sum
Of the love we create

And if I just had that, that, that, that, that and that
Then I’d be secure
I never was right
I was never once right
But I always was sure
I took and took, until I saw
Then ruefully, I grinned
In the end I had nothing at all
In the end
I had nothing
I was just chasing the wind
