Key:
Verse 1:
D Bm A stone thrown from Heaven,skippin' 'cross the water
E A Would disappear in ripples left behind
D Bm A book with no cover,a rhyme with no reason
E A Guess i'll always be one of the rovin' kind Verse 2:
D Bm 'Cause movin's in my soul,i guess a gypsy boy got a hold
E A Of somebody in my family long ago
D Bm If some night while half asleep you hear the back door softly squeak
E A You'll touch my empty pillow,then you'll know

Chorus:
Bm F#m That restless wind,is calling me again
E A Her warmin' hand is tuggin' at my soul
Bm F#m Summer's gone,and winter's comin' on
E A And i can't let it catch me standin' in the cold Verse 3:
D Bm Life made dice out of my bones and it won't leave me alone
E A 'Till it warms me up and takes another roll
D Bm You can't grow sullen every time,so there ain't no use in cryin'
E A It don't take an educated head to know Verse 4:
D Bm When i'm movin' down the road i won't need no overload
E A Nor memories of you to weigh my mind
D Bm And every step i wade will be one more i could take
E A That put those memories further down the line Chorus.
