## Lyrics
[verse]
I sit alone beneath a fading sky
Watching all the swallows drifting by
Wishing on the breeze that carries you
Hoping that this longing sees me through

[chorus]
Like trying to catch the wind with open hands
Like trying to hold the tide upon the sand
I reach for you but you're a step too far
Just a wish, a shadow, like a distant star

[verse]
The leaves are turning, autumn's on its way
And still I think of you most every day
Your laughter echoes soft inside my mind
A gentle ghost I never learned to find

[chorus]
Like trying to catch the wind with open hands
Like trying to hold the tide upon the sand
I reach for you but you're a step too far
Just a wish, a shadow, like a distant star

[bridge]
Maybe one day the breeze will bring you near
Maybe one day I'll hold what I hold dear
Till then I'll sit here with my quiet guitar
Singing softly to a wandering star

[chorus]
Like trying to catch the wind with open hands
Like trying to hold the tide upon the sand
I reach for you but you're a step too far
Just a wish, a shadow, like a distant star
