Don't Listen to the Wind
Love's Haunting Echoes: Don't Yield to Memories
Lyrics
Love and lies he gave to me, now a million lovers couldn't set me free
Received love and lies from him, but even a million new lovers cannot free her from the memories.
He haunts me like the winds that blow with a memory that won't let go
He continues to haunt her like the persistent winds, memories that she cannot shake off.
Every face is his it seems; when I sleep he's in my dreams
Every face she sees reminds her of him, and he appears in her dreams when she sleeps.
All the thoughts my heart recalls drench me like the rain that falls
Recollections of their time together overwhelm her heart, akin to the relentless falling rain.
