Well I tried to figure out
What life was all about
What in the end would make a difference
So anything I could find
To entertain my mind
Soon came along without resistance
The pleasures of wine and work
Quickly became absurd
As neither could show much in meaning
Women they came and went
Money was gained and spent
Still there was more I kept seeking
Oh I chased after the winds that abound
And found vanity in everything around
Now there is a time it seems
And place for everything
Still all I found was quite pointless
To fear God and leave the rest
All in the hands of death
Is where I'll find my rejoicing
Oh I chased after the winds that abound
And found vanity in everything around
Oh I chased after the winds that abound
And found vanity in everything around
