Those You've Known

Those you've 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 you've 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 you've ever been in still there in the dark night

Thought you know you've 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 there's a way through this/They're still home, we're still home

Those you've 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

Thought you know you've left them far behind/And the northern wind blows

Another dream, another love you'll hold/The sorrows, your heart's known

Still you know to trust your own true mind/I believe

And on your way, I'm not alone/They're still home, we're still home

Now they'll walk on my arm through the distant night

And I won't let them stray from my heart

Through the win, through the dark, through the winter light

I will read all their dreams to the stars

I'll walk now with them, I'll call on their names

And I'll see their thoughts are known

Not gone, not gone

They walk with my heart

Not gone

And I'll never let them go

Not gone

I'll never let them go

Not gone

I'll never let them go

You watch me, just watch me

I'm calling, I'm calling and one day all will know
