When the wind blows



Not one word was spoken as we stood face to face
Two hearts have been broken a friendship laid to waste
At one time we were lovers sharing our hopes and fears
But that’s replaced by a strong distaste and bitter-tasting tears

The years have not eroded the passion of our fight
The memories faint and cloudy of who was wrong or right
Time has made us strangers we’ve lost all our common ground
Once we communicated but know there’s not a sound

When the wind blows a change of heart
When the years have eased the pain
When the wind blows a change of heart
We could be friends again

Maybe we’re both stubborn and foolish with our pride
Lost for words or just plain scared to reveal the feelings inside
Well it’s funny how love and laughter can turn to anger and shame
Not one word was spoken the silence still remains

When the wind blows a change of heart
When the years have eased the pain
When the wind blows a change of heart
We could be friends again
