Ghosts by the River

Lyrics

[Verse]
In the hush of the canyon
Where the swift waters flow
The shadows linger softly
Where no sunlight can go
There's whispers in the pine trees
Tales of love and sorrow
Ghosts by the river
Haunt the hopes of tomorrow

[Verse]
On a horse with no saddle
He rode through the night
Met a maiden by the cypress
Bathed in moon's silver light
Their eyes spoke a language
No words could reveal
In the ghostly silence
Their fate they could feel

[Chorus]
Oh
The ghosts by the river
Dance with no end
In the echoes of the night
Where broken hearts mend
With the strum of the guitar
And Mariachi's sweet serenade
They find peace in the darkness
Where memories fade

[Bridge]
Under stars that spilled secrets
They kissed under the sky
But the river’s cruel current
Whispered their goodbye
Now the guitar weeps softly
Tales of their woe
And the mariachi shadows
Through the cypress they blow

[Verse]
In the town of old stories
The elders still sing
Of the lovers by the river
And the sorrow they bring
Through dusty streets and old cafes
Their legend endures
In the haunting melodies
Where time never cures

[Chorus]
Oh
The ghosts by the river
Dance with no end
In the echoes of the night
Where broken hearts mend
With the strum of the guitar
And Mariachi's sweet serenade
They find peace in the darkness
Where memories fade
