Wind whispers with leaves
In twilight still
Ere midnight call
I breathe in autumn air cold
In the night silence dwells
Breaking the dreams in pieces
As the wind whispers in leaves
I gaze on the starlit sky
Hoping to see a fallen star
Like the ocean quivering beyond
It sings within teasing my soul
With a memory rotten and torn
Wind plays in leaves
Like it’s all calm and peace
Like it’s all just a dream
Night whispers to me
Telling a tale through the snow of past winter
Painting with white the forest
While the wind still whispers with leaves
Like a silent guest
Afore the doorstep
Where you stand
Looking at me as it wasn’t your home
That place I’ve kept for you since the day I was born
Guarding your long road from far lands of the North
Wind whispers with leaves
Stars dwell in the sky singing their dreams
Ere dawn cascades upon you and me
