Where the Wind Blows

I came around and knew about an hour or two
Right after I observed the laughs and smiles that bounced around in you
And I forgot what made me scared before
Instead I found a peace that wasn't there
And for the first time in a long time I smiled too, hmm, hmm
If I had known you maybe I'd have never known
The change in tides the way my eyes do
Now that I have learned and grown
And when I look to you
It's hard to find a better word than home
I've tried, but I just can't deny
The truth you taught me all along

I've tried and tried and cried, and lied
When I'd imagine it was make believe
But down inside the madness wouldn't hide
It pried, I found myself bereaved
And then I found your honest eyes
That promised I would finally find the sea
To cross to set me free

And sooner, later somehow you had pulled me in
I never thought I'd find a reason to believe I'd found a friend
But there you were, and there was I
And my two eyes, that once were dimmed
Could see a mile beyond the line
That held me down and kept me hemmed
Who knows where the wind blows, and where it's stilled
I suppose it just goes wherever it will
In time maybe I'll find you again
But I'm just glad I found you then

I like happiness and I felt happiest when
You wove magic into life like lattice, and
I've seen smiles flash and fade, but
Now all mine are made from
Every prayer I've prayed
To just have a chance
That you were the answer to
You were the answer to, ooh

'Cause I have waded through the
Mild and jaded hues, but
I will wait for you to
Come and paint the view, and
Maybe you and I have
One more knot to tie, so
I refuse to die
I'll take every breath
With hopes for the next with you
With hopes for the next with you, ooh
Ooh, ooh

I came around and knew about an hour or two
Right after I observed the laughs and smiles that bounced around in you
And I forgot what made me scared before
Instead I found a peace that wasn't there
And for the first time in a long time I smiled too
Hmm, hmm, hmm
