He was a man like you or me 
And I called him a drifter and knocked our enemy 

They caught him sail away when he was loved 
But that was only after they had buried him under the earth 
You can't stop the winds of change 
You can't stop the winds of change 
Because everything that coming will be rearranged 
When you can't stop the winds of change 

He happened to be in the city when 
Cassandra left them and they chopped us into the sand 
And she was a barrister of the courts 
She still couldn't decide 
For what was right and what was the law 
You can't stop the winds of change 
You can't stop the winds of change 
Because everything that coming will be rearranged 
When you can't stop the winds of change 

And he was a man like you or me 
They shoot him down in the beat of his life 
A New York man and an English face 
No place in the world will receive him 
You can't stop the winds of change 
You can't stop the winds of change 
Because everything that's coming will be rearranged 
You can't stop the winds of change 

Leave your leave your love 
Leave you leave your leave your love 
Leave your leave your leave your love
