We can't survive any more with this notion
Just saving up to buy a ball and chain
Seems it's all arranged.

You can't buy time and you can't buy emotion
What have you and I been waiting for?

The winds of change are blowing hard in our direction
We can't go back and we can't stand still
The winds of change may try to blow away my affection
But they never will.

They say in your life there's a tide for the taking
And if you wait
they say it goes away
It just flows away.

I know it may be a mistake we are making
But if we don't try
we'll never know.

The winds of change are blowing hard in our direction
We can't go back and we can't stand still
The winds of change may try to blow away my affection
But they never will.

The winds of change are blowing hard in our direction
We can't go back and we can't stand still
The winds of change may try to blow away my affection
But they never will.
