Gone Like the Wind

You were the storm, wild and free
Pulled me under like waves in the deep blue sea
I was a harbor, safe and warm
But you left me stranded, torn from the shore

You're gone like the wind, gone like the night
Faded like smoke in the morning light
Gone like the wind, gone like a flame
Left me with nothin', not even a name

I built my walls, brick by brick
But you slipped through the cracks, soft and slick
Carved your name on my soul, wrote it deep in the sand
Then watched as the tide swept over the land

You're gone like the wind, gone like the night
Faded like smoke in the morning light
Gone like the wind, gone like a flame
Left me with nothin', not even a name

I'm walkin' through shadows, tryin' to find me
In echoes and whispers, where you used to be
I'll carry this ghost, yeah, I'll carry this scar
But I'm done holdin' on to what we never were

You're gone like the wind, gone like the night
Gone like the dream that slips out of sight
Gone like the wind, gone like a flame
Burned out so fast, I couldn't even say your name

Gone like the wind, gone from my life
Gone with the love, gone with the light
I'm watchin' you fade, like a song in the air
I loved you so deep, but you were never there
