Silent Winds

Lyrics

SILENT WINDS Songwriter (Shadowlight) [Verse 1] Soft raindrops falling on my skin, A freezing night, the storm rolls in. I listen as the restless breeze Slips through the window, whispering. And slowly, I surrender sleep, Let its cold embrace run deep. Into a world that no one sees, Where darkness reaches out for me. [Pre-Chorus] Although this place is strange to me, I know where every pathway leads. Before I even speak my name, I hear you calling through the shadows. [Chorus] Silent winds, please carry me home, Where all my shadows have always known The fear that waits beside the glass, The dreams that scream until the night has passed. “Welcome home,” your voice is calling, Like sunlight through a fractured wall. Here I can tremble, here I can stay, Even as the ground beneath me falls away. This is my nightmare, this is my home— And through the dark, your hand finds my own. [Verse 2] That child is standing in the hall, Bare feet freezing, looking small. Holding their breath for far too long, The stairs behind them creak again. I try to call, but make no sound, The walls keep closing all around. Until there’s nowhere left to hide— Then through it all, your voice reaches mine. [Pre-Chorus] You never say, “You must be strong.” You sit beside me all night long. And in these pictures dark with fear, Your face is slowly growing clear. [Chorus] Silent winds, please carry me home, Where all my shadows have always known The fear that waits beside the glass, The dreams that scream until the night has passed. “Welcome home,” your voice is calling, Like sunlight through a fractured wall. Here I can tremble, here I can stay, Even as the ground beneath me falls away. This is my nightmare, this is my home— And through the dark, your hand finds my own. [Bridge] Sometimes I wake up with a scream, Clinging to the edges of my bed. Everything is still, yet underneath My door, that strange light shines again. I’m angry at the endless nights That never let me rest. But when I close my eyes, I hear you— And I can’t bear to leave you yet. Must I lose this place forever If my fear lets go of me? Can your sunlight stay beside me When the morning sets me free? [Final Chorus] Silent winds, please carry me home, But don’t keep me here forever alone. Leave a crack within the night To let the morning bring its light. “Welcome home,” your voice is calling, And this time, you walk out with me. I carry shadows and your sunlight Through the doorway, learning how to breathe. Let my fear grow slowly quieter Without losing you along the way. What held me in my darkest dreaming Can stay beside me in the day. [Outro — whispered] Soft raindrops falling on my skin… The storm moves on. I breathe again. “Welcome home, my sunlight…” I open my eyes. You’re still here.
