Restless Wind feat. David Parmley

Restless Wind
Rick Lang, Nov. 2001

A restless wind is blowin’ through the valley,
Shakin’ all the branches on the trees.
I stand here alone at the graveside,
Of a little girl that was the world to me.

She’d been gone 3 days when they found her
High in the hills behind our home
All alone with no food or shelter
Half buried in the cold drifting snow


*CHORUS
When the air turns chilly in the autumn,
And the green fields turn to brown again.
Like the leaves on the trees my tears start fallin’,
Every time I hear that restless wind.

I remember the words of the doctors,
They didn’t think she’d make it through the night.
We prayed to the Lord save our daughter,
But there was no way to keep her alive.

*CHORUS

On the 14th day of November,
We laid little Jesse in the ground.
The restless wind was a’ howlin’,
And I’m still haunted by that horrible sound.
