Like a Straw in the Wind

　　Like a Straw in the Wind - Barbra Streisand

　　Like a straw in the wind

　　I go whirling around

　　Like a bird who's just learnin' to fly

　　Feet are not on the ground

　　Drift from pillar to post

　　So helplessly

　　What I wanted the most

　　Winds up a ghostly memory

　　My man is gone

　　And when your man is gone

　　Your world just falls apart

　　Hmm nothing you try to do

　　Helps you to comfort your heart

　　Don't yo' heart get all the bricks

　　Where your hopes come unpinned

　　Trouble steps in and makes

　　You feel like a straw in the wind

　　Like a straw in the wind

　　Free and easy

　　That's my style

　　I go whirling around

　　Howdy-do me

　　Watch me smile

　　Like a bird who's just learned to fly

　　Fare-the-well me after a while

　　Feet are not on the ground

　　So I gotta roam

　　Drift from pillar to post

　　Sweetenin' water

　　Cherry wine

　　So helplessly

　　Thank you kindly suits me fine

　　What I wanted the most

　　Winds up a ghostly memory

　　My man is gone

　　And when your man is gone

　　Your world just falls apart

　　So any place I hang my hat is home

　　Birds roostin' in a tree

　　Pick up and go

　　And the goin' proves

　　That's how it ought a be

　　I pick up too

　　When the spirit moves me

　　Cross the river run the bend

　　Howdy stranger

　　So long friend

　　There is a voice in the lonesome wind

　　I hear a-whisperin' roam

　　I'm goin' where a welcome mat is

　　No matter where that is

　　Cause any place I hang my hat is home is home
