From the recording Murmurations Volume 2
Lyrics
There’s a whisper on the breeze today
A voice I’ve heard before
On the breath of memories past and from
So many I’ve adored
To know the touch of wonder
And embrace sweet sentiment
Longing for a heart that knows content
The hills light up each evening
With a glow of subtle reds
And each and every breath is filled
With words not yet said
If ever peace flows through this place
With a longing to inhale
The winds that seem to guide our weary sails
I only want for one thing and that one thing is you
I’ve wandered down lonesome roads searching for something true
I’ll say good night my darling and I hope you’ll understand
Tonight I go to sleep a happy man
A candle is but wax and wick
Until it meets a flame
And so it goes with each of us
Just bags of bones with names
With roots of joy and harmony
All dancing to the moon
Knowing that our time to shine is soon
I only want for one thing and that one thing is you
I’ve wandered down lonely roads searching for something true
I’ll say good night my darling and I hope you’ll understand
Tonight I go to sleep a happy man
There’s a place where spring comes early
And the setting sun hangs low
On the plains of journeys long begot
By things we’ll never know
And in the morning hours of hopeful eyes
Many moments lie ahead
To fill our buckets full of blues and reds
I only want for one thing and that one thing is you
I’ve wandered down lonely roads searching for something true
I’ll say good night my darling and I hope you’ll understand
Tonight I go to sleep a happy man
