Echoes on a Dusty Porch

Lyrics

[INTRO] Whispered strings on an old porch, a dusty road A single guitar humming, the night’s slow waltz [VERSE 1] I rode a broken line from the town to the fields Where the wind still carries the scent of cheap deals My boots are stained from a road that’s been paved I hear the echo of a promise I once made [CHORUS] Oh, the moon is a stranger in a crooked light And the shadows fall where the lost hearts write The chorus of a town that’s out of sight We sing, we bleed, in the cold, sleepless night [VERSE 2] The barber’s scissors buzz in a faded barroom I watch the neon glow like a fading perfume A lonely sax plays the last refrain While the old man stares at a name on the rain [CHORUS] Oh, the moon is a stranger in a crooked light And the shadows fall where the lost hearts write The chorus of a town that’s out of sight We sing, we bleed, in the cold, sleepless night [BRIDGE] I’m a shadow on a porch, a song that never ends The dust of the road, a memory that bends [HOOK] Whispered words in a cracked lullaby [OUTRO] The guitar fades as the night drifts away I’m left with the echoes, and the words I’ll say
