Saw you by the river
You were listless and low
Whispering secrets to the evening glow
Time’s a river
Oh
It flows so slow
Caught in the undertow
Where the wildflowers grow

Rusty chains on an old school swing
Memories tangled like a broken string
Hearts in the attic where the ghosts sing
Lost and searching for a timeless ring

Wandering sparrow
Where’s your silent heart?
In the morning mist
Do you play your part?
With wings so weary
Do you dare to start?
In the shadowy whispers
We’re never apart

Mornings rough like an uncut gem
Dreaming 'neath the burnt-orange sky's hem
Silent tears in a quartz-blossom stem
Life's an echo in a hollowed-out hymn

Stars paint stories in a silent veil
Lonely trails where wishes sail
Echoes of a love that turned pale
In this timeless tale
Hearts prevail

Beneath the willow
Where desires weave
Found your letters
In them
Did believe
The threads of fate
Oh
How they deceive
Yet in your words
Why did I grieve?
