Blow ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowin' me no good, no good


Go ill wind, go away
Skies are oh, so grey
Around my neighborhood, and that's no good


You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin'
Ain't that a shame
It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
>From out of nowhere, when love's to blame


So, ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowin' me no good, no good


(Instrumental Break)


So, ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowin' me no good, no good
