[Verse 1]
She dropped her boy at school on time, one less worry on her mind
Now it's off to work and on the radio
Comes an old familiar song and then the D.J.'s voice comes on
And say's he's back in town tonight for one last show
[Verse 2]
Her eyes well up with tears, God, could it be it's been ten years
Since that autumn night outside the county fair
When two strangers shared a night and in the darkness found a light
That to this day is still alive and burning there
[Chorus]
And he asked her twice to come along
And they said goodbye at the break of dawn
'Cause you can't hold back the wind, and if it's meant to be again
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms
[Verse 3]
The marquee misspelled his name and not too many people came
But that didn't matter to them
They laughed and loved all through the night and as they faced the morning light
They found themselves standing there again
[Chorus]
And he asked her twice to come along
And they said goodbye at the break of dawn
And as his bus left out she cried, with him standing by her side
That old wind had once again found its way home
[Outro]
And someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid
But for right now they are both in love, the only thing they are thinking of
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always, been
