Written and performed by John Bahler. Finally, a song with some banjo in it.
lyrics
When I awake and the wind begins to blow
down from the hills, through the lonesome, dusty road,
Here in my heart I am yours for today.
Gone to the hills, my heart has flown away.
See how it flies, 'cross the pale, yellow skies,
chasing your voice and the memory of your eyes.
Here is my word: I am yours for today.
Faithful each hour, my heart has flown away.
Softly I sing in the stillness of my room.
Unto our love, I consecrate the tune.
Here in my heart I am yours for today.
Far above this place, my heart has flown away.
Day passes by; it bows its head to rest.
Night after night I dream of you again
Here is my word: I am yours through the years,
faithful each hour, in joy, in peace, in tears.
Here in my heart I am yours for today.
Gone to the hills, my heart has flown away.
