Knight On The Wind
Ash Redfern

I feel the mark you've left here,
Painted in the skies,
The night you've claimed as your own,
Leaving me with nothing to hold on to,

Shall I whisper your name to the wind?
Would it carry my love to you?
Or would it be blown into the void,
Of what never existed?

I never believed you could die of a broken heart,
But this pain is so great,
And here I am,
Watching the night,
Growing cold,
And my heart is splitting at the seams,

My friends just ignore,
They sympathise and comfort,
But you,
I need you,
To feel this reality,
And feel like I belong,

If not for the life I had before you,
I would be dying this instant,
You, your brave,
You can survive without me,
I can't live without you,

The sky is dark,
The eyes in the night are shining,
Shining with tears they can't shed,
The stars are mourning with me,
And soon the moon will be up,

Soon it will wash away the eyes of the night,
The only eyes that can look upon you and me together,
The world is so small that to them we are together,
I wish I were the stars,
So I could gaze upon you,

I know you're watching them,
Just as I am,
And that in itself is a small comfort,
But only small,
The biggest joy would to be there with you,
For us to be whole,

I miss you,
To cry that sentence to the sky,
I would die half way through,
So I'll keep it locked up inside,
And wipe the eyes that cannot shed tears,

Not the stars,
My own eyes,
They sting with grief,
But I cannot cry,
Will not cry,

You are a princess in a distant land,
And I am the knight,
Ready to prove myself worthy,
Yet, what do I have to do?
What can I do to please you?
I've tried,
But trying isn't good enough,

Here I am, wilting in the night,
I'm without you, so I'll sleep,
I'll sleep and I'll see you in my dreams,
And you'll be everything a princess should be,
Perfect.

I am the knight,
My horse is the wind,
And I'll ride the elements without fear,
For someday they'll bring me to you,
Just as the fates intended,

I feel lucky I was blessed with you,
My heart grows at the thought,
And I'll hold you till we die,
If I could only see you tonight…

If the world wasn't so vast,
And wasn't so small to the sky,
If I had only deserved you,
If only we were together before,
I know I could have stayed,
I would've looked upon you without regret,

I am the knight on the wind,
My feelings are kept to myself,
Everyday I try to find the land,
That holds my fair lady in,
And one day I'll return,
With slain dragon,
And we can be together,

But until that day,
Until my self-hatred is thrown away,
Until this year is up,
I'll never feel your touch,
Never hear your voice call my name,

And now the tears have come,
To not have you with me,
To die without ever seeing your face again,
I would kill myself before that would happen,
You should know I'd risk the world for you,

Yet you don't,
I love you,
Without you I can't be one,
I am but a half,
You – the princess,
And I – the knight,
Apart we are nothing,
But together we'd be whole.
