Question in the Wind

Verse 1

I stood where the road just gives up and stops,
called your name into the tall grass, bending low —
Nothing.
Just wind, and the sound of me not knowing,
so I asked it anyway. I asked.

Verse 2

Seasons came, seasons went, I kept asking,
same old question, dressed up different ways —
Still nothing.
Told myself silence was the answer,
told myself that. Told myself.

Chorus

It’s just a question in the wind.
Just a question.
Gone where the wind goes, nobody knows,
I keep my hands open — still, I don’t know —
just a question in the wind.

Verse 3 (the turn)

Then the evening went quiet. Too quiet.
Something moved that wasn’t there before —
Was that you?
Or just me, hearing what I needed —
I don’t ask anymore. I stopped.

Final Chorus (the echo)

‘Cause it came back. Soft. In the wind.
Like it was waiting all this time.
Maybe I dreamed it. Maybe not.
But the wind’s warmer now — it’s warmer —
since it answered.
Just an answer. In the wind.
