Teach me of love, oh wandering wind,

Redeem me now for I have sinned;

I left a woman weeping with my memory in her head,

I spoke to her of love knowing nothing of what I said;

I though I was fit, but I was just drunk on life,

The lover’s blade cuts like a dull edged knife;

A spectral rainbow haunted my day,

A whisper summoned me from the hill where I lay;

I walked, wondering, under the sky for a time,

The whispers question filled my head so sublime;

I dreamt in the day, the sky was so clear

But the answer to the question I could not hear;

The wind warned me of coming rain,

I couldn’t listen, I was so used to pain;

I spun with my arms wide in the green, open fields,

The magic of the sun made my heart seem healed;

Fantasy ships sailed around the clouds and into my world

And in front of the fireplace of my mind where I lay curled;

The horizons swirled in front of my eyes,

I left behind my loving lies;

I ask you of love, oh wandering wind,

Say a word before my day grows dim.
