Just to think I had her in my hands
To think we made our plans
Somehow it feels just like a dream

For I played it so darn cool
Is there a bigger fool
To say I wanted to be free
'Cause now I know just what she meant to me

Jody, even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I'm aflame, girl, every time
Jody, girl I've tried but I can't forget
The years when we lived together
I thought it would be forever
Jody, I'm beggin' now

Look around but there's no way out
What's it all about
And how that name goes round my head
I still see her face as she laid upon this bed

Jody, even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I'm aflame, girl, every time
Jody, girl I've tried but I can't forget
The years when we lived together
I thought it would be forever
Jody, I'm beggin' now

Just say the word, I'll run to you
I'll be the man you want me to
How I'd miss you I never knew

Jody, even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I'm aflame, girl, every time
Jody, girl I've tried but I can't forget
The years when we lived together
I thought it would be forever
Jody, I'm beggin' now

Even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I'm aflame, girl
Jody, even the wind says your name, girl
When I think of you I'm aflame, girl ...
