I tripped over the melody line for this on Thursday night. When
daisy_knotwise took some time getting Katie to sleep last night (and then thoughtfully headed off to spend some late night time on the computer while I finished things up), the lyrics came to follow.

Haunted
A voice in the wind whispers gently,
Speaking of things I don’t dare,
Repeating the promise you sent me
And swearing you’ll always be there.
You’ll be there.
Everywhere.
And I beg you to grant me one answer
To just how this all came to be.
The wind swirls the leaves like a dancer
And shadows are all I can see.
Shadows of you and of me.
I can see.
You said that you loved me and never would go
And I thought that our love had forever to grow.
But death is a bastard and takes who he will
And with your last breath, you swore you’d love me still.
I hear your voice whisper by moonlight
And when I awake at the dawn.
I reach out to you holding you tight,
But when I close my arms, you are gone.
You are gone.
Then you’re gone.
And if I found I had the power
To tell you to go or to stay,
Stop haunting my dreams for an hour,
I don’t know just what I would say.
I would say
Anyway.
They say that I’m crazy and I might agree
And no one else hears what you’re saying to me
And if I should stand on the edge of a hill
And take one last step, I could be with you still.
A voice in the wind whispers gently,
Speaking of things I don’t dare,
Repeating the promise you sent me
And swearing you’ll always be there.
You’ll be there.
You’ll be there.
Everywhere.
Can't wait to hear the melody someday ...
kinda on the theme of "silver" i like it.
i thought you might be influnced by having a baby in the house and start writing songs about fatherhood ( happy first fathers day) love of children and such. maybe you dont tell us about those songs.???
