story behind the song: angst, the forebodings of the coming year, and hope
Lyrics
there are presents to be opened
and tomorrows on display
there are wishes, dreams and hopings
and all those yesterdays
there are memories of forever
that lasted less than we praised
there are ifns, screams and nevers
that we all keep packed away
and across the driveway blowing
the leaves that fell today
and soon it will be snowing
the wind just feels that way
and i am out here looking
for that thing to do or say
of dreams in words unspoken
the ones i hope will stay
and then the wind swept
swept it all away
nothing i could do
but think of you and pray
and then the wind swept
swept it all away
no one else we can be
just who we are today
there are presents to be opened
and tomorrows on display
there are wishes, dreams and hopings
and all those yesterdays
and then the wind swept
swept it all away
no one else we can be
just who we are today
and then the wind swept
swept it all away
no one else we can be
just who we are today
