Verse 1

You lie somewhere tonight, I know.
I thought I’d be okay.
Funny what can make you think of someone
Once they’ve gone away.
The fan still hums, the screen door creaks.
The evenings linger long.
Summer keeps on carrying on
Like nothing here is wrong.

Chorus

Aw, gust of wind, please blow my way.
If you’ve been where she’s been today,
This is not how breezes work, I know.
Still, I wish they’d work that way.
Carry just one word from her,
Even if it’s only “Hey.”
Aw, gust of wind, please blow my way.

Verse 2

I thought the kids stayed out too late.
The porch light had clicked on.
But it just gets dark earlier
This time of year, that’s all.
I watched them ride a little more
Till someone called them in.
I stayed out on the porch awhile,
Still waiting on the wind.

Chorus

Aw, gust of wind, please blow my way.
If you’ve been where she’s been today,
This is not how breezes work, I know.
Still, I wish they’d work that way.
Carry just one word from her,
Even if it’s only “Hey.”
Aw, gust of wind, please blow my way.

Bridge

Everybody says, “Give it time.”
I guess they may be right.
The garden ripens when it should.
The porch light clicks at night.
Time still brings what it always brings,
The cold, the dark, the snow.
I’m waiting for a change that isn’t
One I already know.

Final Chorus

Aw, gust of wind, please blow my way.
If you’ve been where she’s been today,
This is not how breezes work, I know.
Still, I wish they’d work that way.
Carry just one word from her,
Even if it’s only “Hey.”
Aw, gust of wind, please blow my way.

Outro

I’ll sweep the fire pit tomorrow.
Can’t do much about the weather.
Guess summer knows when it is done…
With one last swept ember.
