Witness

Verse 1

I walk alone when the streets are still

Across the valley and over the hill

I don't say much when the world can hear

But when the breeze whispers in my ear

I start to talk, I start to breathe

The hidden thoughts up in my sleeve

I tell the air how bright you shine

A secret prayer that you’ll be mine

Verse 2

The rustling leaves, they hear it all

How I’m so scared that I might fall

I praise the way you tilt your head

The sweetest words I’ve ever said

I send my whispers to the sky

Every "hello" and every "hi"

I tell the trees about your grace

And how the world lights up your face

Chorus

Oh, the wind is the witness to my heart

It knows my love right from the start

It carries every word I say

To the places where you go and play

Every compliment, every sigh

Floating up to the evening sky

The wind knows your name, it knows it well

The only story I’ll ever tell

Verse 3

I tell the gale about your eyes

How they look like the morning sunrise

I tell the breeze about your soul

The only thing that makes me whole

It’s a conversation in the dark

A tiny flame, a hidden spark

Shared with the ghosts of the moving air

Because I’m too shy to show I care

Verse 4

Sometimes I wonder if it reaches you

A gentle puff out of the blue

Brushing your cheek or your messy hair

Bringing the love that’s in the air

Does it feel like a soft embrace?

A ghostly touch upon your face?

That’s just me, a thousand miles away

Sending the words I’m too afraid to say

Bridge

I’m shouting your beauty to the clouds

Away from the noise and away from the crowds

Let the storm carry my honest praise

Through the nights and through the days

It’s safe with the wind, it’s safe with the rain

The joy of you and the hidden pain

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh, the wind is the witness to my heart

It knows my love right from the start

It carries every word I say

To the places where you go and play

Every compliment, every sigh

Floating up to the evening sky

The wind knows your name, it knows it well

The only story I’ll ever tell

Outro

So if you feel a breeze tonight

Holding you close and holding you tight

Just know it’s me, speaking to the air...

Telling the wind just
