Whispers of the Midnight River

Lyrics

[INTRO] Dust on a cracked porch, a guitar string sighs, Sunset bleeds through the window pane. A lone wanderer hums a mournful tune, While the river remembers names. [VERSE 1] I rode the highway out to the old pine trees, The wind sang a lullaby of lost hearts. Every mile felt like a confession, The road was a map to the places we’d never been. [CHORUS] And the river, oh the river keeps the secrets we told, It hums a lullaby that never turns cold. I hear your echo in the night, my love, A ghost of a melody in a fading sky. [VERSE 2] The porch light flickered, a candle on the table, The scent of pine and rain still lingers. I remember the night that you left me, darling, You walked away with a promise, a broken wish. [CHORUS] And the river, oh the river keeps the secrets we told. It hums a lullaby that never turns cold. I hear your echo in the night, my love, A ghost of a melody in a fading sky. [BRIDGE] I’ve seen the sun rise on the horizon, but I feel the emptiness, The rain drips like sorrow, and the wind is still. The memory of you is a shadow, it’s like a ghost. I keep walking the road, a long journey with no end. [CHORUS] The river, oh the river keeps the secrets we told. The song, a lullaby that never turns cold. I hear your echo, in the night, my love, The ghost of a melody in a fading sky. [OUTRO] The last of the day is a lonely farewell, A wind that whistles a goodbye to the horizon. The river keeps the memory, forever more, The last thing left is the taste of the night.
