Wind
Kevin Krauter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought I heard some footsteps fall
But it was just the gravel grindin'
When I sit here all alone
Let my weary mind roam
And slowly close my eye
I can make believe your mine
Thought I heard my favorite song but it what just the chimes a-chimin'
Then I tried to sing along but the wind had stopped its windin'
Gotta try to convince myself
I can really be someone else
And my life will all workout
And my blues won't haunt me down
Thought I saw my shadow leave me
Then I found the sun deceive me
As it passed right be on its way
Though I know it's not forever
Nothing I can't keep together
But my words and those I'll never say
Thought I heard you say my name but it was just my mind a-wanderin'
Though I saw you walk my way but it was just that memory hauntin'
