Empty Nest Reversion
reggae, country, duet with ex wifeLyrics
[INTRO]
In the quiet of the evening light,
I sit and think of days, so bright,
When laughter filled these empty halls,
Now echoes linger, as silence calls.
[VERSE 1]
They were little feet, so loud, so free,
Chasing dreams like whispers in the trees,
Now they’ve grown, and they’ve flown away,
With a heart full of hope, and words to say.
[CHORUS]
Oh, the bittersweet taste of letting go,
Trading the comfort for the unknown,
With every step, they find their way,
But in my heart, they’re never far away.
[VERSE 2]
Photo frames filled with memories,
Birthday cakes and climbing trees,
Now they’re carving paths of their own,
In cities bright, they’ve grown and grown.
[CHORUS]
Oh, the bittersweet taste of letting go,
Trading the comfort for the unknown,
With every step, they find their way,
But in my heart, they’re never far away.
[BRIDGE]
I feel the weight of freedom’s song,
Joy and sorrow, where I belong,
In every laugh, I hear their dreams,
A mix of sunshine and silver streams.
[VERSE 3]
Late-night talks hidden in the glow,
Stories shared like winds that blow,
But silence sings louder now,
As I watch them chase the sun and how.
[CHORUS]
Oh, the bittersweet taste of letting go,
Trading the comfort for the unknown,
With every step, they find their way,
But in my heart, they’re never far away.
[OUTRO]
So I’ll hold them close in the memory's light,
Each laughter, each tear, shining bright,
With wings spread wide, they’ll learn to roam,
And in their freedom, I find my home.
