lyrics

Who’s that singin on the wind tonight
A high and lonesome sound
Like a whisper, like a canon, like angels crying out

All around, all around

The Tennessee air was warm
The nightbirds sang a heartbreak song
And I was gone too soon

Who’s that singing on the wind tonight
I see you clearly now
Years go by and still
I remember you somehow

All around, all around

The sweetest thing I've ever known, when you were singing soft and slow
Though it was years ago

The Tennessee air was warm, the nightbirds sang a heartbreak song, but I was gone, I was gone too soon

Who’s that singing on the wind tonight
