I Heard the Wind Again Today

I heard the wind again today
it's sound so sad and low
it seemed to ask a question of me
"What had I come to know?"

I searched my heart for an answer to find
an answer for the wind and I
and what I found was the sound of the wind
to which I had no reply

What do you know after all this time
what have you come to see
what have you learned of the ways of your heart
what have you learned of me

I know of love came my reply
I know of the the pain when it then dies
I know of the feel of a loving touch
and the look of loving eyes

What I haven't yet found is that part of me
that part which drives love away
the love which I do so desperately need
to come to me and stay

Then once more I heard the wind in the night
it's lonesome and mournful sound
as it jostled the leaves away from the trees 
then swept them along the ground

Look you well there so deep inside
the answer you seek is clear
that love which you so desperately seek
is also what you fear
