Four Strong Winds
Wandering Winds of Change: The Searchers' Journey Across Alberta
Lyrics
Think I'll go out to Alberta
Contemplating a journey to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
Noting favorable fall weather in Alberta
I got some friends that I could go working for
Considering employment options with friends
Still I wish you'd change your mind if I asked you one more time
Expressing a desire for a change of heart
But we've been through this a hundred times or more
Reflecting on repetitive discussions and pleas
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Describing winds that bring loneliness
Seven seas that run high
Referring to turbulent seas
All those things that don't change
Noting things that remain constant
Come what may
Embracing whatever comes
If the good times are all gone
Acknowledging the end of good times
The I'm bound for moving on
Expressing a determination to move forward
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
Committing to seeking someone if returning
If I get there before the snow flies and if things are looking good
Anticipating arrival before snowfall
You could meet me if I send you down the fare
Suggesting a meeting if circumstances permit
But by then it would be winter
Highlighting the inevitability of winter
Not too much for you to do
Minimizing tasks during winter for the other person
And those winds sure can get cold way out there
Warning about the extreme cold winds in Alberta
The good times are all gone
Reiterating the end of enjoyable times
So I'm bound for moving on
Expressing a determination to move on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
Committing to seeking someone if returning (repeated)
Still I wish you'd change your mind
Expressing a desire for a change of heart (repeated)
If I asked you one more time
Reiterating the plea for reconsideration
But we've been through that a hundred times or more
Reflecting on the repetition of the plea
