There's a sweet summer's rain
Falling to the ground
There's a fine mist above
And starlight all around
There's a soft moonglow
Gently lighting the sky
There's a nightingale in song
As she flies by

There's a tenderness within
A feeling deep inside
There's a burning desire
That not even I can hide
There's a certain something
Attracting an ancient time
There's a restless heart
Giving me a sign

There's a chill tonight
Deep down to the bone
There's a flash in the sky
A murmur in the stone
There's a green forest awake
Whispering to the night
There's a soft footstep
Of an angel in flight

There's a peeping of a frog
A drizzle of the rain
There's a peaceful silence
In the pride and the pain
There's a being for reason
And a reason for being
There's a sign in the stars
But we are not seeing

There's a rushing of water
Over the rocks, cold and flat
There's a rainbows edge
In the spot we once sat
There's a knowledge for all
In the sparkling glass
There's a dew forming
On the crisp, dry grass

There's a sky of grey
And a sea of blue
There's a meaning to this daze
An explanation overdue
There's a gladness in the glen
As songbirds sing loud
There's a dark storm brewing
Up there in the clouds

There's a bearing on life
A vagueness somewhere
There's a kindness floating
Around in the air
There's a glimmer tonight
Hanging like a shadow
There's a wild rose blooming
In the meadow

There's a broken heart far off
Wishing you were near
There's a longing for love
Knowing you aren't here

And there's a yearning in the breeze tonight

With words like that, then whoever was being yearned for must have felt the yearning floating to them on the breeze.
Very nice.

felt like this more than a few times
when I was in the Canadian Armed Forces
A lot of lonely nights
( no broken heart ... but lots of yearning )

Lovely images flash through this one.

'There's a glimmer tonight
Hanging like a shadow

In the meadow'

'there's a yearning in the breeze tonight'

Beautiful.
