On The Wind Songtext

von Karla Bonoff

She dries her hands
Turns down the lamp
Stands in the open door
Knife of a moon
Over the fields
What are you waiting for

Friends come to call
Shake their heads and wonder
See his picture on the wall
They don't understand that

All those lonely nights
When the storms are rolling in
Holding on inside
She knows he's coming back again
She'll just close her eyes
'Cause she hears it on the wind
She hears it on the wind

She wakes to the cold
Frost on the ground
A chill running through her bones
There was a time there was a spring
They danced in the hills alone

There's talk in town
They can't look her in the eyes
It's been so long now
They still don't understand that

All those lonely nights...

The air is so still
Days have run down
Shadows across the plains
Half in a dream
Out of the dark
Did somebody call her name

What the heart believes
The heart will see

All those lonely nights...
