In the twilight glow, where the shadows lay,
I can hear your whisper, drifting far away.
The river's wind carries your name so clear,
But the ache in my heart tells me you’re not here.
With a harmonica crying, the notes bend and sway,
Each breath tells a story of love gone astray.
I wander these banks, where the cool water flows,
Chasing my dreams where the wild longing grows.
Moonlight dances softly on the waves that sigh,
Reflecting the memories of you and I.
I’ve searched every corner, every lonesome place,
But the reflection I see is a ghost in your space.
In the twilight's embrace, with the dark closing in,
I’m held by the shadows of where we begin.
Time’s river keeps flowing, but you still remain,
A bittersweet melody, sweet sorrow, and pain.
With a harmonica weeping, I play through the night,
Each note is a longing that brings me no light.
Your laughter is fading like mist in the morn,
Yet here by the river, a new hope is born.
So I’ll sing to the twilight, let the river run free,
For the love that we had still sings inside me.
I’ll let the night guard my heart by the shore,
In this twilight embrace, forever, and more.
Blues
