In the shadows where the nightfall weeps,
I wander down this lonesome road so deep,
With gravel ‘neath my feet, I chase a dream,
Where the fire flickers low, and the stars gleam.
My heart's a restless rhythm, beat by beat,
Like a sad old melody, bittersweet,
I feel your presence linger in the air,
But the silence only echoes, and I swear.
Oh, this longing pulls me through the dark,
Like a moth drawn to that distant spark,
In the stillness, I can almost hear your call,
But it's just the wind that whispers, after all.
Those nights we danced by that flickering flame,
Now haunt my memory, feels like an aching blame,
Every stone I step on, they tell a tale,
Of laughter, love, and dreams that once set sail.
Yet here I stand, with shadows by my side,
In a world that glimmers, but I can't abide,
I search the dusky skies for signs of you,
But all those constellations feel so far and few.
This gravel's turning cold beneath my heart,
Each step I take away, I feel the part,
The fire’s grown dim as the night wears on,
And I wonder if my love’s forever gone.
But still I sing a song on this empty street,
Though the pain's a friend, it’s bittersweet,
I'll let the echoes fade with the morning light,
And find my way back home, into the night.
So here I stand, as the dawn breaks through,
With the whispers of the nightfall, I’ll carry you.
In the quiet of the morning, I’ll find a new start,
As the melody of longing settles in my heart.
