Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Half of my whole life is gone
Let it drift and wash away
It was just a dream I had
It was just a dream
[Verse 2]
Half of my whole life is done
Heather gathers in its place
It was just a dream I had
It was just a dream
[Verse 3]
The mark where he left me
A clip on my wing
Oh, let it soften
I forgive everything
I once hummed the seasons
Now, I'm whistling
[Verse 4]
Half of my whole life is done
Let it drift and wash away
Shadows soften toward some tender light
In slow motion I leave them behind
