The Talking Wind (Live 2019​-​10​-​03)

lyrics

I’ve been talking with the wind a lot
Throwing words out that I’ve kept too long
We breathe the same way when we’re drawn
I know I have a friend in it

Ah, your fingers weave above the trees
Ah, the talking wind, the turning leaves

As you left, a force to fly on
Left a fragment to be played upon
Fallen and grown new, the wind restored
It went right through
I stood in its way and became it

Ah, your fingers weave above the trees
Ah, the talking wind, the turning leaves
Ah, your shoulder blades among the waves
Ah, you fly away, and dissipate

The wind makes sound instead of words
And I think I understand
Neither needs to explain, in turn
It cries out, and I understand

Ah, your fingers weave above the trees
Ah, the talking wind, the turning leaves
Ah, your shoulder blades among the waves
Ah, you fly away, and dissipate
