Gone With The Wind

You always told me when the wind changed you would be gone
But I didn't prepare myself for the end
It isn't that I didn't listen
I just thought I had more time to spare
Before you came there was a shroud, an absence of light
I guess my eyes had just got used to it
But then you lifted it from me
And I assumed it would be for always
So fixated on the summertime of our lives
I never could consider winter was near
If only you could see me now
You'd see you've taken the wind from my sails
In the morning when I woke up I was alone
Not a trace of you as if you were never there
Just a letter which you wrote for me
Which I thought was a little cliche, baby
You're not the only one who's bad with goodbyes
So I appreciate the effort you made
But if you had an explanation
Couldn't you have said it to me to my face
You spun some line about the road was calling you back
When I picked up the phone there was nobody there
If only you could see me now
You'd see you've taken the wind from my sails
A year went by, I lay awake every night
Just trying to think of something I could've said
Or done something differently
That meant that maybe this time you'd stay, darling
Two lovers who were slowly drifting apart
With one of us pretending things could be great
If I paid more attention I'd know
It was always going to end this way
Spent all my time ignoring all of the signs
As I drew close you pushed me further away
Although I knew this day would come
It doesn't make it any easier
Sooner or later I'll have seen
What a fool I've been
Trying to make you stay so long
Maybe possibly I was trying too hard
Maybe possibly I didn't try hard enough
Maybe definitely I should see
That it was not my decision to make
Too busy holding on and never letting you go
I didn't realise that you were gasping for air
If only you could see me now
You'd see that I finally understand
Honey you don't need to tell me that I was blind
I just wish I learned to see before you disappeared
If only I could let you know it's you
That gave me the wind in my sails

Better ask David Byrne. I'm sure you could google them.
