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.

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.

Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

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.
