a fresh wind sets me off on the path to the cabin
through the woods when the dew has just begun to dry
to calm this quaking in my chest
i see in the rush and toss the first signs of autumn
nothing lasts for long nothing lasts
the wind moving in the crowns the circling crowns
the shadows of leaves moving on the great trunks
shifting their weight from foot to foot
the wind the crowns the trunks the leaves
all shifting everything shifting
as far as the eye can see and the heart can feel
everything shifting in the wind that brings rain
and i too am shifting and you are shifting
with all of the spirits that preceded us
all of us shifting in a fresh wind
that sets off a young heart
on a path through the woods
to calm a quaking in her chest
we pray never ends
and i too am shifting and you are shifting
with all of the spirits that preceded us
all of us shifting in a fresh wind
that sets off a young heart
on a path through the woods
to calm a quaking in her chest
we pray never ends
