Lyrics
Lost adrift a stormy sea
since my love has gone.
Tossed alone to take my heart
back to its harboring.
Fly on the wind to me
Fly on the wind to be free
Longing whispers secret songs -
"let your heart go free."
Secret songs that fill my heart
since my love has gone.
Lost alone to find my way
no chart or compass drawn.
Fly on the wind to me
Fly on the wind to be free
Longing whispers secret songs -
"Let your heart run free."
As the swallow in the spring
finds its forest home,
so will I return my heart
to rest at last in thee.
Fly on the wind to me
Fly on the wind and be free
Longing whispers secret songs -
Let your heart be free.
