The Wind Still Knows Your Name

There’s a road behind the barn now Where the tall grass leans the same Where we used to ride at sundown Before the war and before the rain Your horse still knows the gatepost Still waits some nights the same And when the evening wind starts talking It always says your name

Time can bury footsteps But it can’t bury flame

The wind still knows your name Through the wheat and through the pines It carries it through valleys Like an old forgotten rhyme Every hill remembers Every sky and open plain Men may fade like shadows But the wind still knows your name

The old folks used to whisper About soldiers lost in Rome How their brothers swore they heard them In the hills when they rode home Maybe men don’t vanish Maybe we just change our place Maybe every storm that passes Still carries part of your face

And the world keeps rolling forward Like a long untamed train

The wind still knows your name Through the wheat and through the pines It carries it through valleys Like an old forgotten rhyme Every hill remembers Every sky and open plain Men may fade like shadows But the wind still knows your name

They carved the kings in marble And the warriors into stone But the strongest souls in history Never truly leave their home They ride inside the stories Inside the tears we claim And every quiet sunset Still whispers out your name

The wind still knows your name Like a fire beneath the rain Like a trail across the desert No storm could ever change So when my road grows quiet And my last dusk starts to flame I’ll follow where it’s calling… Where the wind knows your name
