Lyric

I heard your name

Where the wind slowed down

There was a street behind the station

Where the evening used to lean

A paper sign was moving softly

In a window painted green

I didn’t stop because I missed you

At least that’s what I tried to say

But something in the air remembered

How you used to look away

Some things don’t return

They only pass through

Like a season with your outline

Still moving in the blue

Where your name still moves

I keep walking slowly

Not to find you there

Not to bring you back to me

But the wind knows a part of us

I never learned to lose

And I still turn around sometimes

Where your name still moves

A shirt was drying on a balcony

Above a quiet second floor

The light was thin, the sky was open

Like it had been there before

I thought the years would make it simple

That a memory would fade

But even ordinary weather

Can reopen what we made

I don’t call it pain

I don’t call it love

It is only something gentle

I have not let go of

Where your name still moves

I keep walking slowly

Not to find you there

Not to bring you back to me

But the wind knows a part of us

I never learned to lose

And I still turn around sometimes

Where your name still moves

If you are somewhere laughing

Under a different sky

I hope the air around you

Still lets you breathe light

I won’t ask the past to open

I won’t ask the night for proof

I will only keep this quiet

Like the wind once kept you

Where your name still moves

I can leave it gently

Not as something lost

Not as something meant for me

But the wind knows a part of us

I never learned to lose

And I still smile a little now

Where your name still moves

I heard your name

Where the wind slowed down

Not loud enough to hurt me

Just enough to turn around
