In the shadows of the night, where the wild winds blow,
I trace my footsteps down that winding road,
With a heart full of desire, but a soul turned to stone,
Each step feels like a whisper, calling me back home.
You lit a flame within me, burned brighter than the sun,
But the ashes of our memories, they weigh a ton,
I’m walking through the ruins of what we used to know,
In this lonesome Delta blues, I’m just a ghost, you know.
Tattered and torn by the storms we faced,
All the sweet-talking promises, now gone without a trace,
Through the pitch-black darkness, I hear your name,
But the more I chase the light, the deeper falls my shame.
Every corner of this old town, carries echoes of our song,
But the notes have turned to silence, where we once belonged,
In the stillness of the evening, I can feel the pain,
Like a long-lost melody drifting in the rain.
So I’ll keep on walking, with my head held high,
Through the Delta’s winding pathways, beneath the starry sky,
Though the fire in my heart has turned to smoldering ash,
I’ll rise up from the shadows, find the strength to outlast.
And if the night should swallow all the dreams we made,
I’ll carry on with courage, through the choices we betrayed,
I’ll keep your flame alive within this heart of mine,
In the echoes of the night, I’ll find a way to shine.
So here’s to broken moments and the love we couldn't save,
In the depths of our desires, we learned to be brave,
As the dawn breaks softly, I’ll let the past dissolve,
In the Delta's embrace, I know I'll find resolve.
