(Jean Ritchie)

I hear the soft wind sighing

In every bush and tree

The sound of my heart crying

When you are far from me



When we're apart, my darlin'

There's sorrow in the wind

When we're apart, my darlin

Sweet sorrow in the wind



You leave me in the morning

Your footsteps die away

Tho' not a leaf is stirring

I hear the wind all day



When we're apart, my darlin'

There's sorrow in the wind

When we're apart, my darlin'

Sweet sorrow in the wind



They say when love grows older

It dies and fades away

Yet all our life together

One ever brightening day



When we're apart, my darlin'

There's sorrow in the wind

When we're apart, my darlin'

Sweet sorrow in the wind



When we're apart, my darlin'

There's sorrow in the wind

When we're apart, my darlin'

Sweet sorrow in the wind

Sweet sorrow in the wind
