Linda Ronstadt
"Keep Me From Blowing Away" lyrics

Keep Me From Blowing Away

Well, I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses
For not hanging around

I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first
Easy loving I found

But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors
Run together and fade

Oh Lord, if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me
From blowing away

There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that
Just crumbled away

With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning
To show in my face

Oh Lord, if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got
Much coming to me

So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me
From blowing away

Oh Lord, if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me
From blowing away
