In The Wind
Like a candle in the breeze
And the flight of falling leaves
I am moved by the wind
And the fall coming in
The swallows have all gone
And the night has grown long
With the first rutting deer
In the day with little fear
And woodpeckers fly
From wood to wood in windy skies
Undulating from tree to tree
Above a blanket of fallen leaves
And geese fly too
Ahead of the northers blue
With a tail wind to drive them on
Far from their summer homes
And when the wind is finally gone
It’s very close to the dawn
With the wind of yesterday
Gone south a hundred miles away
