The morning comes without your name
The coffee cools, it tastes the same
The chair across is empty still
But time keeps moving, so I will
The city hums a quiet tone
I walk its streets, but not alone
Your shadow drifts through every sign
Like autumn leaves I leave behind
The silence knows, it hums your tune
A ghost beneath the fading moon
I breathe you in, I let you go
The wind still whispers soft and low
Grey wind, carry what remains
Of all the love that turned to rain
Don't speak of loss, don't cry again
Just let me feel you once the same
Grey wind, across this town
You lift me up, you bring me down
I hear your voice between the lines
Of everything I left behind
The mirrors show an older face
But in my chest the same old place
Where laughter lived
Where time stood still
It lingers there against my will
The songs we loved still play at night
They flicker under yellow light
And though the crowd has come and gone
The echo of your breath lives on
The seasons pass, they never wait
But something stays beyond the gate
A memory that won't rescind
It lives inside this grey, grey wind
Grey wind, take what I can't say
And blow these words so far away
If love returns, if hearts can mend
You'll be the first to know, my friend
So let it blow, so let it fade
The pain, the peace, the life we made
I'll walk again, though skies are dim
And whisper once more in the wind
