***************************************************************

D                G
Listening to the wind,
                              D
Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend.
                       A
Wishing you and I were close again,
                 D
Listening to the wind.

                 C   G
Listening to the breeze,
                           D
As it whispers through the poplar trees.
                    A
Do you think I mean way back then,
                     D
Do you listen to the wind.
              G
Listen to the night,
                                  D
Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight.
                      A
I can almost hear the stars so bright,
                 D
Listening to the night.
                 C  G
Listening to the sounds,
                          D
Of a highway through some distant town.
                      A
I can almost hear the pale moon light,
                     D
Do you listen to the night.

                G
Listening to my mind,
                                      D
Searching through my thoughts for the perfect time.
                    A
Using tricks and telepathy at times,
                      D
Do you listen to your mind.
                 C  G
Listening to the breeze,
                           D
As it whispers through the poplar trees.
                       A
Wishing you and I were close again,
                      D
Just listening to the wind.
