Forgiveness On The Wind

[Verse]
The sun sinks low behind the pines,
I hear your voice in the whispers of time.
I see your shadow in the firelight's glow,
The weight in my heart just won’t let go.

[Verse 2]
I recall the words I should have said,
But pride got in the way instead.
I broke the bridge we worked to build,
Now the empty silence can't be filled.

[Chorus]
Forgiveness on the wind, can you hear it call?
I was the one to stumble, I made us fall.
If I could turn back time or start anew,
I'd walk this road just to find you.

[Verse 3]
Your photograph rests on the window sill,
The memories linger, and they haunt me still.
If you would give me one more chance,
I'd hold your heart like a sacred dance.

[Bridge]
I know sorry’s more than just a word,
It's in the actions, it's being heard.
But from this distance, I can only pray,
That you'll find my heart in the songs I play.

[Chorus]
Forgiveness on the wind, can you hear it call?
I was the one to stumble, I made us fall.
If I could turn back time or start anew,
I'd walk this road just to find you.

That was very pretty and such a romantically sad sentiment about lessons learned.

Thank you much appreciated

Wonderful lryics, Pete. Very relatable. Excellent vocal and mix. Heart-wrenching reality.

Hi, Pete.

Good write, smooth production, nice vocals.

It's got a classic sound - I enjoyed the listen.

An outstanding ballad.
Great vocal, backing band, and mix.
Country at its best.

Thank you all for these lovely comments. I really do appreciate them.

Regards

Pete

Great country ballad. I like the instrumentation, arrangement and production.

Great song and wonderful track, enjoyed everything about it!

I did have one thought about an alternative ending…after the instrumental solo, it might be interesting to reduce the band to basic minimums, let the voice ring out the first 2 lines of the final verse, then kick in with the mix as you have it…kind of a way to isolate that heartfelt confession, then wind up with a bang!

Anyway, I think it’s first class just as it is!

Really good lyrics, really good vocals. I think you're the Keith Urban of Great Britain. Excellent work.

Good song with a strong chorus. This a song that the King could have recorded. I like the title.
