Barbra Streisand - Like A Straw In The Wind Lyrics






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
When your hopes come unpinned
Trouble steps in and makes
You feel like a straw in the wind
Like a straw in the wind
Free an' 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 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
An' the goin' proves
That is how it oughta be
I pick up too
When the spirit moves me
Cross the river, round the bend
Howdy stranger, so long friend
There is a voice in the lonesome wind
I hear 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!

  1. S.... S....

    Hear her breath at :35

  2. E.... C....

    To me, this song is perfection.

  3. m.... ....

    God, her voice is just amazing...

  4. S.... S....

    the cover art is her at her most gorgeous. the whole freakin album is perfection!!

  5. C.... N....

    Her stuff was so startling when it came out. Some Dim-sighted critics--lovers of Peggy Lee and Rosemary Clooney--couldn't place her comfortably in any category, so they didn't know what to make of her. As with all artists who break the mold, she simply forged her own genre of pop singing by following her keen dramatic instincts. Her influence on every female pop artist who has come in her wake is massive, even if they don't admit it.

  6. J.... D....

    Indeed a 3-act play...the instrumentals are like none other in her other songs....very brassy and loose but pristeen....I was 12 when I was introduced to her music....never got over her music....can't stand her personality....too militant and too self involved....

  7. R.... M....

    Must I "LIKE" these each individually? I LOVE this whole F*cking album.

    R.... M....

    Me too!

  8. M.... D....

    the voice the talent, the charisma, the charge and authenticity
    none else can do it like this, that's why they call her GENIUS

    M.... D....

    She is a very talented genius and I absolutely adore her.
