I know you've left me long ago
But still I'll say goodbye just so
In case the perfect wind might blow
The air would take my words and go
To find you and to let you know
And that the wind much more than me
Explain to you that you might see
That loneliness for being free
Can be a price, or more a fee
For dreams we use, though mine use me
And all the while, I'll disappear
'Til soon the wind is all you'll hear
Disintegrating tear by tear
To pay a cost that's just too dear
'Til it seems like I was never here
When all my dreams have had their way
And nothing's left to go or stay
It's finally to the air I pray
That something that I had to say
Is with you when your heart's at play
And a prayer upon the wind will do
It's all I've left to give to you
A final prayer that love lives on
Upon the air, it's never gone
May every wind take up my song
As breath in me where it belongs
Though hearts may break for beating wrong
I had this prayer like I had you
I gave it to the wind, it flew
So fare thee well and nothing new
A prayer upon the wind will do
But still I'll say goodbye just so
In case the perfect wind might blow
The air would take my words and go
To find you and to let you know
And that the wind much more than me
Explain to you that you might see
That loneliness for being free
Can be a price, or more a fee
For dreams we use, though mine use me
And all the while, I'll disappear
'Til soon the wind is all you'll hear
Disintegrating tear by tear
To pay a cost that's just too dear
'Til it seems like I was never here
When all my dreams have had their way
And nothing's left to go or stay
It's finally to the air I pray
That something that I had to say
Is with you when your heart's at play
And a prayer upon the wind will do
It's all I've left to give to you
A final prayer that love lives on
Upon the air, it's never gone
May every wind take up my song
As breath in me where it belongs
Though hearts may break for beating wrong
I had this prayer like I had you
I gave it to the wind, it flew
So fare thee well and nothing new
A prayer upon the wind will do
