"Windy" - The Association - 1967
Who's peekin' out from under a stairway,
Calling a name that's lighter than air?
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow?
Everyone knows it's Windy!
Who's tripping down the streets of the city,
Smilin' at everybody she sees?
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy
And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)
And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)
Who's tripping down the streets of the city,
Smilin' at everybody she sees?
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy!
