On a gravel road where the shadows lie,
I wander beneath a twilight sky,
The rattle of my boots on the stone,
Each step reminds me I'm alone.
The whisper of the wind calls my name,
In the soft embrace of the evening’s flame,
With every drop that falls from above,
I’m soaked in the echoes of your love.
Oh, nightfall, you bring the memories near,
Of laughter and dreams that now disappear,
With each puddle reflecting the light,
I search the darkness, longing for your sight.
The smell of the rain, it takes me back,
To the moments we shared, love on the track,
When the stars were bright, and the world felt right,
But now I just wander, alone in the night.
The moonlight dances on the old tin sign,
Where we carved our names, claiming love divine,
But seasons have changed, the years slip away,
Leaving just shadows of what we made.
So I lace up my heart in these weathered boots,
Treading the path where my sorrow roots,
And though I'm surrounded by emptiness now,
I’ll carry your memory, somehow.
The thunder rolls in as I call out your name,
And the drops of the rain fuel this heart's flame,
So under the stars, I'll still sing our song,
In the quiet of night, where I still belong.
Through all of the longing and endless goodbyes,
I’ll treasure the moments that lit up the skies,
With each passing night, I’ll hold on tight,
To the love in my heart that still feels so right.
As the gravel crunches beneath my feet,
I find solace in the pain that’s bittersweet,
For even in sorrow, the heart learns to fight,
In the silence of nightfall, we still ignite.
