Letter To The Wind

In my early songwriting days I was in a New Country phase and tried a few writes along those pretty "woe-is-me" lines. This is the only song I kept from that batch.
Retrospecting and house cleaning seems quite popular here lately -I welcome your comments on my oldy.

Letter To The Wind


I don`t need someone to save me from lonesomeness
tonight I`m holding hands with the wind
that took her from these rooms without pause to shut the door
now this house feels unforgiven

rumours whisper through the walls
faces in the pictures look so lost
clouds chase my words and the moon across the night
all the while a voice sighs for the cost

this is my letter to the wind
you`ve lost everything
you ever touched just like me
blow the roof from this house
out past the stars or thereabouts
with all we hold and cannot heal
where angels take the pain
from things a heart cannot contain

you rustle robes of the holy
take every lost bird where it should go
if this old world ain`t flat some day please bring her back
I ask the one who knows about sorrow

this is my letter to the wind
you`ve lost everything
you ever touched just like me
blow the roof from this house
out past the stars or thereabouts
with all we hold and cannot heal
to where angels take the pain
from things a heart cannot contain
angels take the pain
from things a heart cannot contain

Robert Cordrey, 1995
