Lyrics
Those August days wound slowly by like they would never end
September found me hiding out and trying to pretend
That time would pause and wait just like a friend
But then I heard the sound of the whispering wind
The whispering wind so faint and far that I could barely hear the sad refrain
That seasons will change, these days will pass and never come again
The golden days they took so long to finally come around
When all is well it’s hard to tell the only way is down
We try to hold life’s water in our hands
But it leaks and blows away in the whispering wind
The whispering wind said go you know that here you cannot stay another day
That all of the summer leaves will turn and swiftly blow away
Now the summer morning’s turned to autumn afternoon
It’s time to heed the quiet warning coming way too soon
To live each day and don’t regret what’s been
Now is all there is says the whispering wind
The whispering wind said winter’s here and nothing ever stands or stays the same
You might try to bend the rules but you can never change the game
The whispering wind, the whispering wind
