Windbound Hearts

[Intro] Soft dusk, a breath of rain on the window pane I whisper your name to the fading light [Verse 1] I walk these rooms and every corner sighs your name The clock keeps time, but my heart forgets the same Empty dinners, photographs that never fade I’m learning how to carry love like a rain-filled raincoat in the rain [Chorus] I send my love on the wind, to where you lay your head tonight If the miles between us could bend, I’d meet you where the stars ignite Though hands can’t touch, my heart won’t unlearn this refrain Carry my longing through the air, till you feel me again [Verse 2] I recall the promises we carved in summer light Words that promised forever, we believed them with all our might Now silence writes the chapters where our laughter used to live Yet every memory smells like us, and I still choose to forgive [Pre-Chorus] Maybe fate was a lantern we followed in vain But the flame still glows somewhere, beyond the windowpane [Chorus] I send my love on the wind, to where you lay your head tonight If the miles between us could bend, I’d meet you where the stars ignite Though hands can’t touch, my heart won’t unlearn this refrain Carry my longing through the air, till you feel me again [Bridge] Destiny wrote our hours in a meteor’s trail A brief, bright blaze that somehow made us prevail If love can be a memory that’s never truly gone Then let it burn in the wind till the break of dawn [Chorus] I send my love on the wind, to where you lay your head tonight If the miles between us could bend, I’d meet you where the stars ignite Though hands can’t touch, my heart won’t unlearn this refrain Carry my longing through the air, till you feel me again [Outro] Time moves slow, the ache remains but learns to heal The world keeps turning, and I breathe, accepting what’s real The wind will carry what’s left of us, when the night grows thin And maybe, someday, the heart will find its peace within
