lyrics

A most gentle tender breeze fell upon me, held me in its arms
And I thought it my lover, I thought it my lover
A most gentle tender breeze fell upon me, drying my tears
And touching my hair and my brow with the softest care

And it called to me, it called to me
As my thoughts drew their want in white chalk on a blue sky
Tracing a jet stream like a lyric, a call
To the most gentle tender love of them all

Tasting salt and hearing words in the leaves,
I felt my conscience slowly drifting
And I let my fancy take me, I let my fancy take me over
Left my heart out on my sleeve gleaming like a pearl
With all its hardness slowly melting
As the fingers of the breeze formed a shell painted red and hidden well

And it called to me, it called to me
As my thoughts drew their want in white chalk on a blue sky
Tracing a jet stream like a lyric, a call
To the most gentle tender love of them all

And it called to me, it called to me
As my thoughts drew their want in white chalk on a blue sky
Tracing a jet stream like a lyric, a call
To the most gentle tender love of them all

Oh how it called to me, it called to me
As my thoughts drew their want in white chalk on a blue sky
Tracing a jet stream like a lyric, a call
To the most gentle tender love of them all
