Tied To The Wind

The sky was burnin’ low that night Dust on the breeze and firelight You looked at me like you already knew What the years would drag us through You were quiet, but your eyes pulled tides I was all bones and borrowed time We said nothin’, but we stayed 'til dawn There’s somethin’ in the wind that ties me back to you Like roots beneath the ground, holdin’ somethin’ true I’ve tried to leave, but you’re in every song I sing We ain’t whole, but we’re always everything I’ve seen seasons take the best from me You kept a light in places I don’t let folks see You called me home without sayin’ a word Your silence louder than most hearts I’ve heard There’s somethin’ in the wind that ties me back to you Like roots beneath the ground, holdin’ somethin’ true I’ve tried to leave, but you’re in every song I sing We ain’t whole, but we’re always everything Even when the miles turn cold Even when our hands let go You’re the thread in all I mend You're the start, and you're the end There’s somethin’ in the wind that ties me back to you Like roots beneath the ground, holdin’ somethin’ true I’ve tried to leave, but you’re in every song I sing We ain’t whole, but we’re always everything Some souls ain’t meant to walk away We’re stitched in dusk, in breakin’ day
