Gone With the Wind

She left as the leaves fell from our tree

Whispered goodbye like a soft breeze

Vanished like footprints on the shore

And now my heart aches like never before

Shadows of her dance around my room

Echoes of laughter lost in the gloom

Found her in every place we used to go

Now it's just me and this endless woe

Gone with the wind and away from me

Left with silence where love used to be

Tears fall like rain from a stormy sky

Gone with the wind and I don't know why

Her scent lingers on our old bedspread

Memories haunt me of words unsaid

Wish I could hold her just one more time

But she’s flown away to another rhyme

I dream in colors that have turned to gray

Nights are long since she's gone away

Her ghost whispers softly in my mind

And I'm just left here aching blind

Gone with the wind and away from me

Left with silence where love used to be

Tears fall like rain from a stormy sky

Gone with the wind and I don't know why
