Drifting Winds
Austin Anderson 2007 (Alabama)
In the oceans of kindness
Low in the water, I drown
Our own Drifting Winds
Your hair streams like a river
Your silhouette makes the sunset ever so beautiful
Twenty-four before my love I'll be there
Hardships may crush
Hearts may break
No matter what happens, we always end up together
That thread of fate binding us together
pulling us together, like gravity
Drifting Winds
A windchime's melody, faint but heard
with the rose in your hair
and the rose in my front pocket
I gently place my hand on yours
A gentle, Drifting breeze on your skin
Whistling Winds
Our very own Drifting Winds
I was nervous placing my hand on yours
Luckily, you smiled, for it is
Our own Drifting Winds
Very own Drifting Winds
Each second with you I value
Your eyes are diamonds shining in the night sky
Our own Drifting Winds, for we are the only ones in the
Universe who owns them
You hold my hand, your touch so gentle
Our eyes fixed together
Among the Drifting Winds, we dance
The wind chime's melody accompanies us
as we move like leaves in the Wind
The breeze that our dancing creates
It soon becomes
Our Drifting Winds.
Then I realize
you are the one on the other end of our thread of fate.
