Prayer Flags

She's hanging your promises out in the wind
Thinking the breeze might fill them again
But deep in her heart it's wishing at best
Reach in the basket and pull out the rest

She's hanging your name out in the wind
Knowing it's best not to speak it again
'Cause each time the words wash over her lips
She can see how they're fading and wearing too thin

Oh, somebody rescue her, somebody quick
But no one can save her
Oh, somebody save her, but nobody can

She's hanging your promises out in the wind

Oh, and there goes a sweet caress out in the wind
She's swearing your life won't touch hers again
Then she empties what's hers before heading inside
And she can hear the rough flapping of her wishes and pride

She's hanging "I love you" out in the wind
Hanging "I love you"
She's hanging "I love you" out in the wind
Knowing it's best not to speak it again
'Cause each time the words wash over her lips
She can see how they're fading and wearing too thin

She's hanging "I love you" out in the wind
Hanging "I love you"
