On a September morning
I wake up and you are gone
The house is empty still, without you
But it’s not in me to hold on
Oh my dear, the wind is whispering your name
Calling you out to the wide open roads again
Across the golden fields
Through the mountains
To the sea
Under the clear blue sky
Will you remember me?
Every time I think of your goodbye
It still brings tears to my eyes
But I am letting you go
Because I know
I know
Oh my dear, the wind is whispering your name
Calling you out to the wide open roads again
Across the golden fields
Through the mountains
To the sea
Under the clear blue sky
Will you remember me?
I’m praying that you don’t
Get lost along the way…
If you do, my love…
If the sun fades away
May you always find a place to rest
At the end of your day
Oh my dear
The wind is whispering your name
Calling you out
To the wide open roads again
Across the golden fields
Through the mountains
To the sea
Only one thing that I ask
As you go on your way
Always remember me
Always remember me
September 2,2010

Love and longing and letting someone go when they need to. Story of my life right now. 🙂 And you expressed it beautifully. As another commentor said, it would be lovely set to music.
