Gone with the Wind

作曲：啊呜

作词：啊呜

The daylight fades to shades of grey

I’ve saved up all I couldn’t say

On tissue paper thin and light

I trace the edges of the night

With every word I should have spoke

I’ll fold my sorrows in the evening breeze

And whisper to the rustling leaves

I’ll give the wind my last regret

A silent final kind of debt

I’ll tuck my longing in the cooling air

And trust the dusk to take it there

I stand out on the quiet lawn

And wait until the night is drawn

Across the fields a chilling thread

To cover all the things we said

And left unsaid a heavier weight

Deciding on a kinder fate

To offer up to set it free

Into a gradual growing peace

That starts to feel like emptiness

I’ll fold my sorrows in the evening breeze

And whisper to the rustling leaves

I’ll give the wind my last regret

A silent final kind of debt

I’ll tuck my longing in the cooling air

And trust the dusk to take it there

Away from me to somewhere high

Beneath the dark and patient sky

To lose its name to lose its form

Just carried on the wind and warm

For one last moment then it’s gone

And I am finally truly alone

And when it’s done the sky is clear

And all the old familiar fear

Has lifted with the fading light

Replaced by just the coming night

A hollow and a wide deep space

Where sorrow had its hiding place

I feel it go I feel the chill

Of a slow and steady patient will

To simply be and not to keep

Not with a shout but with a sigh

That blends with wind and passes by

I’ve folded sorrow in the evening breeze

It whispered to the waiting trees

I gave the wind my one regret

A quiet soft and paid-off debt

I tucked the longing in the cooling air

And every gentle passing wind

Too painful and too dark and deep

And carried on and out of sight

Into the soft and generous night

Gone

With the wind

It’s done
