Those You've Known

Those youve known and lost still walk behind you
All alone, they linger till they find you
Without them, the world grows dark around you
And nothing is the same until you know that they have found you

Those youve pained may carry that still with them
All the same, they whisper 'All forgiven'
Still your heart says their shadows bring the starlight
And everything youve ever been is still there in the dark night

Though you know youve left them far behind
(And the northern wind blows)
You walk on by yourself and not with them
(The sorrows, your heart goes)

Still you know they fill your heart and mind
(There are those who still know)
When you say theres a way through this
(Theyre still home, were still home)

Those youve known and lost still walk behind you
All alone, their song still seems to find you
They call you as if you knew their longing
They whistle through the lonely wind, the long blue shadows falling

All alone, but still I hear their yearning
Through the dark, the moon alone there burning
The stars, too, they tell of spring returning
And summer with another wind that no one yet has known

Though you know theres so much more to find
Another dream, another love youll hold
Still you know to trust your own true mind

They call me, through all things
Nights falling, but somehow on I go
You watch me, just watch me
Im calling, through longing

The northern wind blows
The sorrows, your hearts known
I believe
Theyre still home, were still home

Now theyll walk on my arm through the distant night
And I wont let them stray from my heart
Through the wind, through the dark, through the winter light
I will read all their dreams to the stars

Ill walk now with them
Ill call on their names
And Ill see their thoughts are known
Not gone, not gone

They walk with my heart, not gone
And Ill never let them go, not gone
Ill never let them go, not gone
Ill never let them go

You watch me, just watch me
Im calling
Im calling and one day all will know
