Gone with the Wind

Clouds are restless in the sky tonight

They tumble and twist

Losing their fight

The trees bend low

They whisper and groan

This storm feels like it knows I’m alone

I called your name

The wind took it away

I chased your shadow

But it wouldn’t stay

Gone with the wind

Like a fleeting sigh

Gone with the wind

No reasons why

I’m reaching out

But you’ve slipped through

Gone with the wind

Like I never knew you

Your laughter lingered

A ghost in the hall

Now it’s a silence

No echo at all

The pictures we hung have all tilted down

The frame of us lost

No trace to be found

I screamed to the storm

It just howled back

I followed the trail

But the path went black

Gone with the wind

Like the waves to the shore

Gone with the wind

Not mine anymore

I’m holding tight

But there’s nothing to do

Gone with the wind

Like I never knew you
