In the twilight's fading glow,
I feel that weight upon my soul,
A river of sorrow flows,
Carrying dreams that lost control.
Oh, these aching hearts can't find,
A place to rest, a peace of mind,
When the dusk drapes its embrace,
I'm just a ghost in this empty space.
Whispers from an aching past,
In the shadows, memories cast,
Every step leads me deeper still,
In this bluesy world, I lose my will.
The burden's heavy, can't you see?
It’s dragging down what's left of me,
The water's cold, the night is long,
But I keep singing my weary song.
With each note, I fight the tide,
In the silence, I seek to confide,
Holding onto the fading light,
As I wander through this endless night.
So I'll take my pain and make it right,
Turn burdens into words that bite,
And with every note under the moon,
I’ll find my peace, it’ll come quite soon.
Though shadows linger, and rivers flow,
I’ll find a strength I didn’t know,
As the dusk settles, I’ll stand tall,
With a heart of fire, I’ll defy it all.
In this life of aching dreams,
I'll break the chains and tear the seams,
With blues in my heart and hope in my stride,
I’ll lay those burdens down, with love as my guide.
Blues
