Love is a bird I can’t even see

Even in the darkness right in front of me

And you were shining bright through the window in the mornin'

There's a tone

That rises gently

With a wind

You can be free, sometimes brave

Sometimes all you want to do is run away

I don't need the curse

The hurt is much too real

Are we even lost

I'm silently waiting

For how our room will be painted

I know, it’s hard, this time

I know, you know this time

How could I wait 'til you recognized me?

When you were there inside my dreams

No, you don't have to go

I want to make you stay

Goodbye, anyway

I heard the news today

I've been up since the break of dawn

I lost my mind today

I'm at the sea, and I can hear the trains

Winds of change, so new

Blow right through me

Blowin' back through you

Then pull you into the light, yeah

Now I'm home, and it's clear you're gone

I lost my edge today

Singin all my songs in a pouring rain

Pushed and pulled apart at the seams

I can feel the chains

The winds of love blow few

Let it move through me

Let it blow through you

And take you into the night, yeah
