As I ramble around on the outskirts of town Visions from the past fill my mind I remember the day that you went away And each and every tear that I cried
Chorus: Autumn chill cuts the air Leaves blow through the sky I feel your spirit everywhere I can hear you sigh….restless wind
I look back on the past, time has gone by so fast Since those trips to the hills where you lived When I was young you were always so strong You seemed to have the world on a string
Chorus
Roots run deep And you ran faster than the wind Roots run deep I still feel all the love you send
Chorus
I turn back towards my home but I don't feel alone Like I did when I left for the night ‘Cause you're right here with me and now I can see The spirit and the soul never die
