Track Insight / Lyrics
In the storm, I remember him so clearly
Tattered paper, lilting in the wind's hand
He'd chase it 'round, laughing without a fear
While I watched, small world, alone in the sand
(Thunder rumbles, rain spatters the wood)
Faded blueprints, rain-soaked pavement white
Echoes of his footsteps, lost in the downpour
Forever young, vibrant, soaring in flight
My heart beats faster, feels the rush inside
Like those carefree days, I could take to the skies
In every gust, I'll hear his unrestrained cry
"Higher, let's fly, let our spirits glide!"
Whispered wings, carry me away
In the storm's heart, I'll find my own way
Lift my spirit up, let the thunder play
Whispered wings, I'll take flight, oh, yeah!
Time moves on, years gone by like falling leaves
But in my mind, we dance, 'neath stormy eaves
Kisses in the rain, hands intertwining
Love that still stirs, an ache, a longing unhealing
(Lightning flashes, cracks electric)
Static memories, short circuit heart
Sunny days awash, in a Technicolor haze
But stormy nights, an eternal love's sharp gaze
My heart beats faster, feels the rush inside
Like those carefree days, I could take to the skies
In every gust, I'll hear his unrestrained cry
"Higher, let's fly, let our spirits glide!"
Whispered wings, carry me away
In the storm's heart, I'll find my own way
Lift my spirit up, let the thunder play
Whispered wings, I'll take flight, oh, yeah!
(Storm subsides, rain slowing, wind gentling)
In this lull, I'll carry him with me
From every twine to every painted tree
Free as a kite, wild and unfettered, you see
Two hearts beating, as one, in harmony
Whispered wings, carry me away
In the storm's heart, I'll find my own way
Lift my spirit up, let the thunder play
Whispered wings, I'll take flight, oh, yeah!
(Porch creaks back to life, wind settles)
Whispered wings, wherever life may lead
With every breeze, I'll hold him close, indeed
Though far apart, I'll hear his tune in me
And take to the skies, wild and free
