Song of the Wind
Whispers of a Drifter: Unveiling the Soulful Tale in 'Song of the Wind'
Lyrics
I see the shadows as they come to welcome the night
I observe the approaching darkness, signaling the night's arrival.
Treading the time when I know I must turn out the light
Contemplating the moment when I must turn off the light.
Here in the darkness I lie down to hurt once again
In this darkness, I willingly experience emotional pain once more.
From letting a mem'ry who's heart sings a song of the wind
A memory, with a heart that echoes a song carried by the wind, affects me.
So much like a child yet so very much of a man
Describing someone with qualities of both a child and a mature man.
He was a drifter and I wasn't hard of his plan
Referring to a drifter whose intentions were not clear to the speaker.
He needed me when I met him so I took him in
The drifter needed the speaker, who offered shelter without foreseeing future consequences.
Not knowing someday he'd follow a song of the wind
Unaware that the drifter would eventually follow a mysterious calling represented by the "song of the wind."
The wind sings the moving song of fields that'll always green
The wind symbolically sings a song about everlasting green fields.
The man who has heard its call can't leave a thing unseen
Suggesting that once a person hears the wind's call, they are forever changed.
If I should see him and he needs the warmth of a friend
If the speaker encounters the drifter again and he seeks warmth, she will offer assistance.
I'll try to help him for the short time he was in
Expressing a willingness to help the drifter during the brief time he remains.
I won't be surprised when I wake and he's gone once again
Anticipating the drifter's departure without surprise upon awakening.
For he is a dreamer who follows the song of the wind
Characterizing the drifter as a dreamer who relentlessly pursues the elusive "song of the wind."
Yes he is a dreamer who's heart sings a song of the wind
Reiteration of the drifter being a dreamer with a heart attuned to the wind's song.
