lyrics

There were footsteps on the stair
But there’s no one there
The hounds were growling in their sleep
I put aside my book
And went outside to take a look
And stood in the middle of the street

The stars were hissing in the silence
And the moon shone as bright as day
And something in my soul
Whispered soft and low
The wind will blow it all away

My friend and my foe
My joy and my woe
My dreams half buried in the sand
Somewhere beyond the fields
Something hidden is revealed
Too simple to even understand

My heart may always be broken
And my tears may fall with the rain
My wounds never heal
My truth stay concealed
And the wind will blow it all away

I stood that way
Until the wind changed
And a melody drifted toward me on the breeze
My heart was pounding in my chest
I knew I couldn’t rest
I went in search of company

I followed the sound of the music
And came to a lighted doorway
They’re singing and they’re dancing
They’re drinking and they’re laughing
And the wind will blow them all away

I was turning around
When I saw her in the crowd
Looking so graceful and so calm
I would have gone inside
But I saw the way she smiled
When he came and took her in his arms

I lingered a while in the shadows
A strange peace flooding my veins
Then I went on my way
Only love remained
All the rest the wind will blow away
The wind will blow it all away
