The breeze came through the trees
I heard the sparrows chatter in the brush
As the daylight slipped into the night, my heart felt ill at ease
As all the world came softly to a hush
I miss you like a mother and a child
Like a captive creature longing for the wild
But I know that I will find you in the shining stars above,
And I hope that you’ll think kindly of our love
The nights are so long with my troublesome heart
Shadows dance on the wall
My arms still ache for the absence of you
But do you think of me at all?
I took my heart to the riverbank to wash my pain away
My bedroll lain beneath the summer sky
I listen the wisdom of the crickets and the trees
Just a fire, my little dog and I
I miss you like a mother and a child
Like a captive creature longing for the wild
But I know that I will find you in the shining stars above,
And I hope that you’ll think kindly of our love
