[Verse] The heather was blooming The sky bruised and gray She left with no words Just the end of the day Her shadow stayed longer than her hand in mine I chased her in whispers But lost her to time [Chorus] Oh The wind took her name The wind took her name Through the hills and the hollows It called her the same I shout to the rivers I cry to the sea But the wind took her name And left none for me [Verse 2] The pipes in the valley They weep where she walked And the stones hold her footsteps Though now they're just chalk The fields hum her tune But the song’s out of reach A melody stranded on a faraway beach [Prechorus] I asked the old oak I begged the wild rain They all knew her face But forgot her refrain [Chorus] Oh The wind took her name The wind took her name Through the hills and the hollows It called her the same I shout to the rivers I cry to the sea But the wind took her name And left none for me [Bridge] She wore the dawn like a shawl 'round her shoulder Her laugh turned the frost to the first kiss of clover Now I sit by the fire Where the stories once grew And the silence is louder than her voice ever knew
