[Intro: Solo open-tuned acoustic guitar, quiet and spacious] [Verse 1] Stepping through the park gate once again Wind stops softly by the grassy side Where you used to sniff beyond the glen A single fallen leaf begins to glide [Pre-Chorus] The breeze moves as if searching for a friend Passing beneath the bench at the path's end [Chorus] You are no longer in this windy lane Yet your swift pace remains within the air Tugging at my sleeve through softest rain Blowing through the same spot everywhere [Post-Chorus] Passing through here, where will it go? I will walk along a little while, slow [Verse 2] Corner store glass door chimes in the breeze Cold air brushes past my ankles low Like unseen fur brushing against my knees My hand drops down softly, letting go [Pre-Chorus] Carrying the scent of changing air Telling weather that you used to share [Chorus] You are no longer in this windy lane Yet your swift pace continues through the sky Pushing at my shoulder through the plain Blowing through the same place passing by [Post-Chorus: Brief fingerpicked guitar interlude] [Bridge] Wind reminds me that you are not here Over and over speaking plain and clear Yet with every gust that passes through Your presence grows wider, deep and true Into sky, grass, path, and heart anew [Chorus] You are no longer in this windy lane Yet your swift pace lives on within my heart Tugging at my sleeve through joy and pain Blowing with me, never to depart [Post-Chorus] Passing through here, where will it go? I will walk along a little while, slow [Outro] I'll stay right here until the breezes cease Even when wind falls quiet, you bring peace [End]
