A melancholy ghost moves
Now do you see his face love
Far away, far away you've wandered
Come away, come away sweet darlin'
(Repeat 1st and 2nd verse) Oh breathe the sweet sweet splendor of the honeysuckle breeze
Back to TaylorSongs.
Outside your window certain
That brushing past your curtain
And dancing through the leaves
Will remind you of your first love
Who held you warm and tender
And gently asked you to surrender
To the honeysuckle breeze
In the shadows and the sunlight?
He held his tongue to still the dark night
Now he's whisperin' through the trees
To remind you of your first love
And the days before your winter
When you breathed the sweet sweet splendor
Of the honeysuckle breeze
And soon forgot the one who loves you still
In the ruins of the precious gifts you've squandered
Rise again and breathe again His will
While the scent of love's still drifting on the wind
Your lover knows your hungry heart's still starving
For the gentle one who bids you come to Him
