Lyrics

Those you’ve known

and lost still walk be hind you...

All a lone,

they lin ger ’til they find you...

With out them, the (Dm)world grows (Eb6/9)dark a round you and (C)noth ing is (Bb)the same un til you (C)know that (Bb)they have found you.

Those (F)you’ve pained

may (Gm)car ry that still with them...

all (F)the same,

they (Gm)whis per, (F)“All for giv en.” Still, (Eb6/9)your heart says, the shad (Dm)ows bring (Eb6/9)the star light and (C)ev ’ry thing (Bb)you’ve ev er been is still there (Bb)in the dark night.

When the north ern wind blows, the (Eb)sor rows

your (Gm9)heart holds.

There are those who still know.

They’re (Eb)still home,

we’re still home.

Those (F)you’ve known and (Gm)lost (F)still walk be hind you.

All (F)a lone, their song still (F)seems to find you.

(Eb6/9)They call you, as if (Dm)you knew (Eb6/9)their long ing.

They (C)whis tle through (Bb)the lone ly wind, the long blue (Bb)shad ows fall ing.

All (F)a lone, but still (Gm)I hear (F)their yearn ing;

through (F)the dark, the moon, (Gm)a lone (F)there burn ing.

(Eb6/9)The stars too, they tell (Bbmaj7)of spring (Eb6/9)re turn ing.

And (C)sum mer with (Bb)an oth er wind that no one (Bb)yet has known.

When the north ern wind blows, the (Eb)sor rows your (Gm9)heart’s known.

I be lieve.

They’re (Eb)still home.

They’re still home.

(Cm7)them.

I’ll call on their (Gm7)names.

I’ll see their thoughts are known.

Not gone,

not gone.

They walk with my (Cm7)heart.

Not gone.

I’ll nev er let them go.

Not gone.

I’ll nev er let them go.

Not gone.

I’ll nev er let them go.

Not gone.

You watch me,

just watch me.

I’m (Ebsus2)call ing,

I’m call ing, and one day all will know.
