Calling for the Wind

The first time I saw him, I thought he was a child;

Rosy-cheeked and mischievous, he had me beguiled.

The first time we danced, it was just like a poem;

The moment we touched, I knew I had come home.

Now I’m standing here, Calling for the Wind…

And when it comes, I’ll throw my arms out wide.

I’ll jump into its swift embrace and make my body light,

And into endless azure skies, I’ll ride.

I loved him so instantly; I knew I’d loved him before,

In some other lifetime, on some distant shore.

Torn from his side I was by tragic circumstance,

And I knew that this life was our second chance.

So I’m standing here, Calling for the Wind…

And when it comes, I’ll throw my arms out wide.

I’ll jump into its swift embrace and make my body light,

And into endless azure skies, I’ll ride.

We had no children; there never seemed the time --

Just our lives together made one perfect rhyme.

Today, when they told me that he had passed away,

I knew what I’d do to find him again.

So I’m standing here, Calling for the Wind…

And when it comes, I’ll throw my arms out wide.

I’ll jump into its swift embrace and make my body light,

And into endless azure skies, I’ll ride.
